Tangshan Sannuhe Airport Will Receive Hainan Airlines Premier Flight

On July 17, 2010, Hainan Airlines would open the Guangzhou-Tangshan flight route. This is the first regular flight route of Tangshan Sannuhe Airport, a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines Airport Group Ltd. Sannuhe Airport is located at Tangshan City of Hebei Province, 15 kilometers away from Tangshan Fengrun District, and was originally a military airport. It was approved to become Tangshan Civil-military Airport (Tangshan Airport) at the end of 2008 when the expansion construction took place. In April 2009, Tangshan City and Hainan Airlines Group signed a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement stating that both parties would follow the low capital operation mode with the established operation of the civilian part of Tangshan Civil-military Airport. Since then, Tangshan Airport was under the control of Hainan Airlines Airport Group Ltd. In May 2009, Tangshan Airport connection line completed for regular traffic, and Tangshan Western Outer-ring Highway Tangshan Airport Exit opened. In June, CAAC approved the civilian part of Tangshan Airport to name as Tangshan/Sannuhe Airport. It is a Level 4C civil aviation airport, which can accommodate the take-off/landing of regional aircrafts including B737 and A320.
