Capital Airlines, a regional subsidiary of HNA Group, is waiting government approval to launch three nonstop services to Mexico City, Zagreb and Helsinki in the first half of 2017.

Pending government approval, the Beijing-based carrier will operate a thrice-weekly service from its hub to Mexico City in next January, using Airbus A340 aircraft, according to an announcement released Friday on the website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

Meanwhile, Capital Airlines also plans to launch twice-weekly Beijing-Helsinki and Beijing-Zagreb services in May and June 2017, using A330 aircraft.

The Air Transportation Department of CAAC is soliciting public comments on the application until 5:00 p.m. on April 29, 2016.
