The Beijing-based airline said in a Hong Kong stock exchange statement late Tuesday that its profit in the first half of 2009 was 2.93 billion yuan ($428 million), up 151 percent from a year earlier.

The carrier attributed the fast growth to fuel hedging gains which helped offset weaker demand on international routes and lower fuel costs which fell 42.5 percent from a year earlier.
