BA in talks with China airlines to boost links
It is also looking to add destinations of its own in China
[LONDON] British Airways (BA) has held talks with airlines in China aimed at boosting connections there while looking to add more destinations of its own in the world's fastest-growing major economy.
BA has had discussions with discount carrier Spring Airlines Co, China Eastern Airlines Corp and Sichuan Airlines Co, among others, Willie Walsh, chief executive officer of parent company IAG SA, said on Tuesday.
BA has been "very late into China" due to relatively poor UK trade links and a lack of flight slots at its London Heathrow hub, Mr Walsh said.
