According to a Phuket Express report, flight HU465, a Boeing 737-800 landed at the airport on Friday after completing the new route from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

Hainan Airlines is the largest privately-owned air transportation company in China and currently operates over 500 domestic and international routes.

The carrier will now operate 5 flights a week between Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Phuket International Airport.
