BEIJING, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The airport fast immigration service has been enthusiastically welcomed by Air China's VIP passengers since its introduction on the carrier's links to Sydney/Melbourne in 2011. As part of the endeavor to further improve customer experience and make more exclusive benefits available to VIP passengers, the fast immigration service was rolled out on the Beijing-Paris route starting March 1, benefiting the carrier's VIP passengers.
The First Class/Business Class passengers and PhoenixMiles Platinum members departing from Beijing or transferring in Beijing to Paris on flights operated by Air China qualify for the service which can tremendously facilitate their entry/exit at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and cut the amount of time they have to spend at the airport.
This year, Air China will make the service available to more of its international destinations and will continue its commitment to product and service innovations.
