Air China has stepped up its presence in the large and rapidly growing city Tianjin, raising pressure on the dominant carrier in the northern city, Tianjin Airlines. From July 1, Air China has added flights from Tianjin to Changsha, Dalian and Yanji, while increasing frequencies to Seoul. Tianjin has a population of 13 million and Changsha, in the south-center, 7 million, including surrounding rural districts. Air China’s service between them will begin at four flights a week. The route between Tianjin and Dalian will be flown three times a week.
