Hong Kong Express is to launch flights between Hong Kong and Ningbo in China on December 13, 2005.

The new route is the airline's third and comes on the heels of October's launch of services between Hong Kong and Hangzhou and September's Hong Kong – Guangzhou launch.

We are delighted to already be announcing the addition of our third destination, said Dr. James Young, Hong Kong Express Commercial Director. Ningbo is not only a key route for us in terms of our network expansion strategy but also in building our position as the airline best placed to serve the needs of business and independent travellers.

The new Ningbo route will be served by 2 flights daily to enable same day return. Flight schedules and fare details are expected to be released soon.
