Free Flights from Tianjin Airlines Cut Costs for High-flying Freshmen

Free freshmen flights have helped 100 students from remote regions save on travel costs to attend Tianjin universities and institutions for the new semester.

The project was launched four years ago by Tianjin Airlines Ltd, a regional carrier set up by Hainan Airlines Group and the Tianjin municipal government to help impoverished students attend college.

Students are eligible for free flights if they attend top universities in Tianjin, including Tianjin University and Nankai University.
