Dragonair will add service to Chinese mainland cities from March 30 to October 25, the company said in Beijing on Tuesday.

During the eight-month summer peak season, flights from Hong Kong to Chengdu and Nanjing will be increased to 14 per week each.

Flights from Hong Kong to Changsha, Chongqing, Guilin and Xi'an will operate daily.

Dragonair said that it planned to increase service to meet the growing demand for flights between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland.

Based in Hong Kong, Dragonair owns 31 passenger planes and eight cargo aircraft. Its network covers 34 destinations, of which 21 are in the Chinese mainland.
