Hainan Airlines has announced the official launch of its Singapore–Haikou–Changchun route. The inaugural flight departed from Singapore Changi Airport at 4:40 a.m. local time, as said on the airline's social media platform.

According to industry reporting, the new service will operate four times a week under flight numbers HU447 and HU448. This schedule aims to provide regular connectivity for both business and leisure travelers along this multi-leg route, balancing frequency with operational efficiency. The move reflects Hainan Airlines' strategy to bridge Southeast Asia and Northeast China using Haikou as a transit node.

Hainan Airlines has been actively expanding its routes into Singapore. As of January 2025, it operates Lanzhou–Haikou–Singapore and Yichang–Haikou–Singapore services, signaling a commitment to connecting Chinese interior cities to Southeast Asia. This demonstrates that the Singapore–Haikou–Changchun route builds on an established network base into Singapore. Such expansions are part of Hainan’s increasing push to diversify its international presence.

China’s civil aviation sector saw a strong rebound in 2023, with about 619.58 million air passenger trips, more than double the prior year, according to the Civil Aviation Administration’s official communique. This recovery underscores renewed demand for both domestic and international services, providing tailwinds for carriers like Hainan Airlines to open new routes. The robust recovery helps justify the commercial viability of new, multi-stop international flights.

Hainan Airlines is headquartered in Haikou and is China’s largest civilian-run airline. It operates a large fleet serving over 120 destinations globally, including both domestic and international air passenger and cargo services, as well as related operations in aircraft maintenance and other aviation businesses, according to its corporate profile on Reuters.
