From January 2, 2025, the Chinese Hainan Airlines will use a Boeing 787-9 on its route between Chengdu and Vienna. The airline will thus replace the Airbus A330-300 model it has previously used.
According to information from Aeroroutes, the frequency of the flight will remain the same with three connections per week. The switch to the Boeing 787-9 is expected to offer a longer range and possibly improved travel comfort, as the model is optimized for long distances and is considered a more efficient alternative to the A330.
