China Eastern Airlines grows domestic network

China Eastern Airlines has expanded its domestic network from Lijiang (LJG) with the addition of 11 weekly flights to Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA). The 2,120-kilometre route, which launched on 30 March, is not served by any other carrier. China Eastern will serve the market using its 737s. In addition, the carrier has also added a weekly non-stop service between Nanning (NNG) and Hanoi (HAN) in Vietnam, a sector length of just 320 kilometres.
