Hong Kong Express Airways has launched its newest scheduled service between Hong Kong and Chongqing.

Fast approaching its first anniversary, Hong Kong Express Airways been focused on establishing a key route network between its home in Hong Kong and Mainland China while simultaneously exploring routes throughout wider Asia.

Using its fourth 76-seat Embraer 170 passenger aircraft, the Hong Kong-based airline will operate three flights per week between the two business hubs: every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Chongqing is the airline's fifth scheduled service in a fast growing network that currently comprises Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, and the hot Thai leisure destination Chiang Mai, launched just last month. In addition to its scheduled services, the airline also operates daily charter services to Taichung in Taiwan in conjunction with Mandarin Airlines and similarly to Laoag in the Philippines.
