Passenger planes touch down on Nansha Islands
Print Edition
TWO passenger aircraft successfully landed on two new airfields on the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea yesterday, bringing the number of airfields open to civil aircraft in the archipelago to three.
The first flight took off from Haikou in south China at 8:30am and landed on Meiji Reef two hours later, while the second took off at 8:40am and landed on Zhubi Reef at 10:28am. The Airbus A319 and the Boeing 737 returned to Haikou after a short stay on the reefs.
The round trips came a day after a Cessna CE-680 flew to the two reefs to ensure that both airfields were prepared for civil flights.
