Nonstops to Shanghai land at Logan in June

China's Hainan Airlines will start nonstop flights between Boston's Logan International Airport and Shanghai — China's major commercial center and largest financial hub — on June 20.

Boston is the largest U.S.-Shanghai air travel market without nonstop service, according to Massport, which runs Logan. More than 73,000 passengers traveled between the two cities last year, it said.

"Our new Boston-to-Shanghai service will open a new door for business as well as leisure and recreational travel," said Pubin Liang, Hainan's North American managing director.

The flights aboard two-class Boeing 787 Dream­liners will run three times per week, with a flight time of 14 hours and 40 minutes to Shanghai's Pudong Airport.

The route will be the third direct China route landed by Logan since Hainan launched its Boston to Beijing flights last June. Cathay Pacific Airways will start nonstop Boston to Hong Kong service in May.

"This is the start hopefully of a continued expansion of our capacity to meet the needs of people here, businesses here and people and businesses in … China," Gov. Charlie Baker said. "The combination of our medical, educational and business institutions — along with the size and activities associated with our normal population here — has had a big impact on that."

Hainan's Boston-to-Beijing flights, which have been four days weekly with temporary increases to daily during the summer and holidays, will revert to daily May 1. The flights have operated at 90 percent capacity.

"It's been a very successful experience," Massport CEO Tom Glynn said. "The popularity of their service in Boston has led us to this situation today."
