BEIJING, Mar. 11 - China's first private airline is scheduled to operate
its maiden flight today, a landmark move that will break the government
monopoly in the civil aviation sector.
The first passenger flight of Okay Airways is due to take off at 9:00am
from Binhai International Airport in Tianjin - where it is based - then
fly to Changsha in Central China en route for Kunming in Southwest
China's Yunnan Province.
The aircraft being used is a 189-seat Boeing 737-900 leased from Korea
Airlines.
The new airlines will face challenges from international counterparts as
some foreign low-cost carriers have an eye on China's aviation sector.
