According to PR Newswire, Hainan Airlines launched a non-stop service between Haikou and Osaka on February 28, 2019. This initiative aims to promote tourism and strengthen Sino-Japanese trade and cultural exchanges. It aligns with China's strategy to expand international routes from Hainan to major global tourist destinations. The airline has also expanded its international network from Haikou by adding routes to Rome, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, and Taipei.

As reported by AeroRoutes, Hainan Airlines plans to resume the Haikou–Osaka Kansai service on April 1, 2025. The service will operate three times weekly. The flight schedule includes HU771 departing Haikou at 08:05 and arriving in Osaka at 13:25, with the return flight HU772 departing Osaka at 14:30 and arriving in Haikou at 18:20. This resumption marks the reinstatement of the route last served until January 2020.
