Hong Kong-based Greater Bay Airlines Co. plans to expand its route network into mainland China next year, belatedly entering an essential market after the country remained off limits during the Covid pandemic.

The carrier, a new entrant to an Asian hub dominated by Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., will first fly to Shanghai and Beijing, and then gradually to cities such as Chongqing and Chengdu, according to Chief Executive Officer Stanley Hui.
