Wang Zhenghua, president of Shanghai Spring International Travel Service Company, says that its subsidiary Spring Airlines has chosen Sanya as its second base and plans to increase its Hainan lines to 13 in 2007.<\/p>\n
Spring Airlines was launched by Shanghai Spring last year, but with its speedy development, the busy Hongqiao Airport could no longer meet its bustling needs, and it began to look for a second base.<\/p>\n
A number of travel cities including Haikou, Sanya, Kunming, Dali, Guilin and Xiamen were listed as candidates, but finally Hainan was selected because the company believes that it is only next to Shanghai in the order of importance in the company's market layout. The preparation team for the second base of Spring Airlines held discussions with Sanya Phoenix Airport and Haikou Meilan International Airport on land use, plane maintenance, talent training and taxation payment. Through six rounds of negotiation, they decided to choose Sanya Phoenix Airport as their second base.<\/p>\n
Spring Airlines plans to construct the second base in two steps. In January 2007, it will send 80 professional staff there and run three routes, and increase the staff to 120 and routes to 4-5 around the Chinese Spring Festival in February.<\/p>\n
Zhang says that Spring Airlines has an annual business revenue of RMB2.5 billion in Shanghai, and they are confident to increase the current aviation business revenue in Hainan to as much as RMB600 million next year and exceed that of Shanghai by 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
