Spring Airlines gets international approval
Remember that story about China's Spring Airlines considering standing-room only tickets?Well, if they ever get around to realizing that glorious dream, standing-room only could be slowly making it's way closer to you.
The General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) ruled on Thursday that the airline will be able to operate specific international routes. Spring Airlines is the second private firm that has received this approval by the CAAC.
This will initially open up short-distance routes, such as flights to Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, South Korea and Russia. The airline was founded in 2005 and currently has 13 Airbus 320 passenger jets, with 30 domestic air routes.
Any volunteers for when Spring Airlines decides to take standing room to trans-Pacific flights?
