Hainan Airlines starting direct flights to Mexico

Hainan Airlines, China's largest private airline, will launch direct flights between China and Mexico from March 21. It will also become the first Chinese carrier to operate nonstop flights between China and Latin America.

The flight, which will stop at Tijuana, Mexico and arrive at Mexico City, will fly three times a week and be operated with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Tijuana International Airport is located on the border of the United States and Mexico, and it is minutes away from the downtown of San Diego. Through Cross Border Xpress, a new convenient crossing bridge built exclusively for air passengers, visitors can enter the US from Tijuana with its own Customs clearance process.
