On June 24, Air China completed a year of safe landings at Wuhan Tianhe international airport. It was the anniversary of the establishment of the Hubei branch of Air China.

On the same day a year ago, following the decision made by leaders of Air China, the Hubei branch started business with support from other units of Air China. Now it has completed 365 days of safe flights.

Besides Beijing, Hubei is the only other province that has three airlines: Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern.

"We will consider the strategic vision of Air China, combine the special features of civil aviation mark in Hubei," general manager of Hubei branch Buhe told China Daily.

To develop new routes, they will gradually increase the number of aircraft. Then international routes like direct flights between Wuhan and Hong Kong, Taipei, will start soon. "Connecting flights to Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand are also planned," Buhe said.
