Air China has announced that they will be starting to offer service from Beijing to Honolulu three times per week starting in January 2014. This will be Air China's first route to the Hawaiian Islands. President and CEO for the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Mike McCartney, stated, "We've been working on China as a developing new market. Increased air access has been a priority for us for a long time, and David Uchiyama (HTA's vice president of brand management) is on his way there to follow up on this and other opportunities. In any developing market there's a lot of work to be done to create a strong, long-term relationship. This is part of our long-term strategy to diversify departure cities in multiple major markets in Asia."
