China to trial seventh freedom operation in Hainan

China's Government announced (01-Jun-2020) its support for Hainan to pilot seventh freedom of the air operations and establish an international aviation hub. By 2035, the government will encourage domestic and foreign airlines to increase capacity and operate more services between Hainan and other cities. Hainan Airlines said it will look for business opportunities that arise from the higher degree of opening up and operate more international services to major overseas destinations (Xinhua/China Daily, 03-Jun-2020).
