BA intend to offer a new 3 weekly flight to Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, starting in next Autumn.
The flights will connect Heathrow to the city in south west China famous for being the home of the panda bear. British Airways CEO Willie Walsh believes that the new airport being built in Chengdu shows ‘vision and ambition’.
I have never been to Chengdu but I did visit Guangzhou (Canton) in April, and the engineering and infrastructure work going on was quite simply incredible. The Canton Tower (formerly the tallest in the world) is staggering. Going up to the top was not for the feint hearted.
