Announcement of new flights
Vancouver - Phoenix Airlines has announced more flights to North America, with the launch of flights from Beijing to Los Angeles, as well as flights from Beijing and Shanghai to Vancouver. These are part of Phoenix Airlines' attempt to connect North America to Asia, utilising China as a transit hub for the passengers going between both countries.At Vancouver Airport today, the airport authorities and the Phoenix Airlines management signed an agreement to welcome Phoenix Airlines into the airport, starting with a PVG-YVR route that has a 1 time frequency on a brand-new Airbus A350-900, which was recently delivered to the airline as part of a lease agreement with BOC Aviation. The A350-900's addition to Phoenix Airlines' fleet would help to boost the airline's capacity in terms of long haul traffic, and further boost the airline's position as one of China's best airlines.
The A350-900, currently leased but will soon become fully owned by the airline, boost Phoenix Airlines' award-winning Phoenix Suites, as well as the "half-suite" variation of in the Business class. Seating only 188 passengers as compared to the aircraft's exit limit of 440, it definitely boosts a less dense configuration that features huge seat pitch and seat width that is definitely incomparable as compared to other airlines' average of 250 passengers.
Phoenix Airlines will fly the A350 on its Shanghai-Vancouver route, starting on the 15th July. It will then be followed by a Beijing-Vancouver route complimenting the Shanghai route, which will start with 4 times weekly on the B747 aircraft. Furthermore, apart from the confirmed flights to Los Angeles from Shanghai, the airline will also launch the Beijing-Los Angeles route, which will operate 3 times weekly. The schedule for these 3 flights can be seen below. You may also see our full flight schedule here: Phoenix Airlines' Flight Schedule.
