Dignitaries descend on Dulles for inaugural Air China flight
http://www.insidenova.com/news/fairfax/dignitaries-descend-on-dulles-for-inaugural-air-china-flight/article_a372a522-f092-11e3-a179-0019bb2963f4.html


Air China today inaugurates service between Washington Dulles International Airport and Beijing, a boost to the fortunes of Dulles, which has seen declining passenger counts even though international travel is up.

Gov. McAuliffe and Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai will be among those on hand as the first flight from Beijing lands. The airport will provide the traditional water-arch salute for special flights.

The national capital area joins the airline’s five U.S. existing destinations, service that includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Houston and Honolulu. Air China is a member of the Star Alliance, a coalition of 26 airlines that also includes United, the dominant carrier at Dulles.

The new flight, CA817/8, will be offered four times a week. The outbound flight will leave Beijing at 1 p.m. and arrive in Washington at 2:35 p.m. local time. The return flight will leave Washington at 4:35 p.m. and arrive in Beijing at 6:15 p.m. the following day.

Passengers will travel on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class, 311-passenger configuration.

The airline is focusing on capturing both business and leisure travelers between the two nations, and will tap into a growing market: Airline officials say that in 2012, the number of available seats and passengers on Sino-U.S. flights reached 4.52 million and 3.89 million, respectively, up 60.9 percent and 85.2 percent compared with 2009.

Air China was founded in 1988 when the Chinese government split up CAAC, then the government’s flag carrier, into a number of different airlines.

The carrier currently serves more than 180 destinations with hubs in Beijing, Shanghai and Chenddu, China. In 2012, it carried 72 million passengers, split between domestic and international travelers.

So Fast Terry can sell more visas to Chinamen funding fake companies. Way to go Virginia, you put a known criminal in the Governor's office.

Don't you know! Has Gerry taught you nothing? Everything that is good is due to Democrat politicians and everything bad is due to Republicans and Jews.

I've done this IAD-PEK route on United almost a dozen times. United sucks donkey cock. I welcome Air China as their onboard service and seating is light years ahead of United.

This is great. According to the Dulles folks, every new flight they add is $6 million in economic output for the region.

He sure did try, poor guy just couldn't accomplish anything productive. It's okay, we have a Democrat again whose priorities are in order.
