Hong Kong Express currently flies to regional destinations on the mainland, Taiwan and southeast Asi
Hong Kong Express, which is controlled by the HNA Group, would transform into a low-cost carrier by September, said Jeff Sun Jianfeng, the chief operating officer of sister company Hong Kong Airlines.
At least four Airbus 320s operated by Hong Kong Express will be reconfigured this year to remove all the business class seats. That will make room for 22 extra seats, bringing the number of seats on each aircraft to 174.

Hong Kong Airlines will ply lucrative routes, such as Taipei, Beijing five star hotels in orlando florida and Shanghai, which have more business travellers.
The business model and management style involved in running a full service carrier compared to a budget carrier five star hotels in orlando florida is quite different. Hong Kong Express had hired former executives from budget carriers five star hotels in orlando florida to lead the transformation, five star hotels in orlando florida Sun said.
Low-cost carriers account for 5 per cent of the aviation market in Hong Kong but provide five star hotels in orlando florida nearly 20 per cent of seats in Asia overall.
