On July 28, Spring Airlines launched its first international route
On July 28, Spring Airlines launched its first international route, connecting Shanghai and Japan's Ibaraki Airport, about 80 kilometers away from Tokyo.
On Sept 28, the airline kicked off its route from Shanghai to Hong Kong.
Established in 2005, the budget carrier has a fleet of 22 Airbus A320 aircraft, with passenger occupancy of more than 95 percent.
Its proposed second route to Japan - between Shanghai and Takamatsu - was scheduled to begin on March 27 with four flights a week, but it was postponed because of the recent earthquake.
Additional routes to Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku are in the pipeline.
Other routes linking South Korea, Southeast Asian countries and Russia are also in the planning.
Given the frequent business and leisure travel between major cities in Japan and China, the popularity of such air routes make them stimulating investments, according to Spring Airlines.
Japan's leading air carrier ANA was reported by China Business News in February to be planning a budget airline joint venture based in Osaka by September, with investment from First Eastern Financial Investment Group in Hong Kong.
