Tibet Air is scheduled to start formal operations in July, according to CAAC, which will soon grant an operating certificate to the Lhasa-based carrier. Tibet Air was established as a company in May 2010 and, when it begins flying, will be the only Lhasa-based airline in China.
Tibet GM Liu Yanping noted the carrier ordered three Airbus A319s to be used on the Lhasa-Beijing route starting July 20. The first one will be delivered July 7. The other two aircraft will be introduced in August and September. Currently Tibet Air aims at expanding its fleet to 20 aircraft within five years. (atwdn)
