Thanks
The HNA Group is unorthodox, to say the least, but HU is actually a pretty decent operation. A career airline exec friend recently advised my boss (who was fearful of flying HU over an ocean) that he'd be foolish to fly a US carrier instead, given the fare differences.
BTW, we all know that the skytrax rating is bs, but they serve markets that nobody else does, are cheap, and have new planes.
