Posto qui per riflettere ancora sulla questione PEK, anche se la news riguarda StarAlliance; certo, stanno blindando Air China e i partners, ma insomma, evidentemente di traffico ce n'e' eccome e non si capisce ancora per quale motivo AZ non riesce , da anni, a capitalizzare questi flussi. Certo non mancano cinesi da noi, tantomeno i loro interessi commerciali (cargo), tantomeno i nostri interessi in Cina....
Star Alliance, Air China commit to PEK
In a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during the Star Alliance Chief Executive Board (CEB) meeting in Beijing this month, Star Alliance member carrier Air China (CA) and PEK (Beijing Capital International Airport) have agreed to closely cooperate to further establish PEK as a leading hub and transfer airport, as well as to significantly enhance the future customer experience.
“Beijing is an important hub for our Star Alliance network. The opening of the second airport at Daxing presents us with an opportunity to cement our commitment to Beijing Capital International Airport,” said Star Alliance Customer Experience VP Christian Draeger. “This agreement now sets the foundation to provide a superior customer experience and achieve future growth at the Beijing hub.”
“On the occasion of its 10th anniversary as a Star Alliance member airline, Air China is proud to be able to play its role in securing the Alliance’s long-term presence at Beijing Capital International Airport,” said Air China SVP Zhao Xiaohang.
PEK VP Du Qiang said, “Having the commitment from Star Alliance allows us to secure the necessary resources to jointly provide an improved customer experience at our airport.”
Under the MoU, the parties will cooperate to co-locate all 17 Star Alliance member airlines that serve PEK, including United, in the same airport terminal, better facilitating airport automation initiatives such as off-airport check-in, fast bag drop or self-tagging. Common handling solutions, optimized transfer processes and the Star Alliance Connection Service will provide further benefits.
