Hainan Airlines, which began deploying its Boeing 787-9 on select flights between Beijing and Belgrade this winter, will continue to operate the aircraft type on the route during the early part of the 2026 summer season, replacing the Airbus A330-300. The carrier will utilise the Dreamliner on all Belgrade services in April and May, before reverting to the A330-300 from June. Both aircraft types offer the same capacity of 292 seats and feature an identical hard product. Further equipment adjustments remain possible.
