Air China announced in Beijing Thursday that it will operate new
Airbus A330-200 aircraft on its Australian routes from next
year.
The new wide-body aircraft will be equipped with advanced
digital sound and video systems and flatbed business class
seats.
Air China's daily flights to Australia originate in Beijing and
make a stopover in Shanghai before heading for Sydney and
Melbourne.
When the new aircraft goes into operation, Air China will be the
first airline company to provide independent in-flight
entertainment for economy class passengers on the China-Australia
route.
