NEWS FLASH

Hainan Airlines 787-9 landing

Hainan Airlines, which began deploying its Boeing 787-9 on select flights between Beijing and Belgrade last winter and into the spring, will now operate the aircraft type on the route until the end of the peak summer season, replacing the Airbus A330-300. The carrier will utilise the Dreamliner on all Belgrade services up until September 1, before reverting to the A330-300. Both aircraft types offer the same capacity of 292 seats and feature an identical hard product. Further equipment adjustments remain possible.

    JU could definitely support a two weekly operation to Beijing.

      No. They should focus on boosting PVG first. Anyway, they can't add more China flights without granting more rights to their competition.

      Maybe they should consider giving them more or just terminating CAN and boosting PVG to 4x.

      JU already has rights for Beijing.

      They have the right but not the frequencies to launch it unless they cut something else or if they agree for Chinese airlines to get more. So far Air China, China Southern and Hainan are listed as airlines that can fly from China to BEG.

      I think it would be better for JU to focus on PVG which is a massive market.

      Neither can launch unless the bilateral is revised. Right now only Air Serbia, Hainan, China Southern and Air China can launch flights. However the number of frequencies is maxed out.

    I wonder if there will be any negotiations about changing terms in that bilateral agreement between SRB and China, i guess there is room for more flights

    And regarding this news, since they have the same number of seats, is this difference important only because their Boeing planes are slightly newer than the Airbus ones? Is there something else?

      The 787 has a quieter cabin than the A330.

      I prefer 330, it feels more specious and more open. 797 just does not do it for me on long haul flight .

      The 787 cabin is actually wider than the A330 one, by some 20-25 cm. So I struggle to see how you find an A330 more spacious and open, if the same hard product is installed.

      Because it's 2-4-2 and not 3-3-3.

      When I flew this route in 2025 around 40% of passengers on my flight were from Serbia.
