Air Guilin (Chinese: 桂林航空; pinyin: Guìlín Hángkōng) is a Chinese airline with its headquarters in Xiufeng District, Guilin, Guangxi,[2] and with Guilin Liangjiang International Airport as its main base of flight operations. A joint venture between the Guilin Municipal Government and HNA Group, the airline began operations in June 2016 using Airbus A319 aircraft. It intends to boost the tourism industry in Guilin.[3][4]

History[edit]

Air Guilin has its origins in Guangxi Airlines, formed in 2013 by HNA Group and the Guilin Municipal Government.[5] This airline was renamed Guilin Airlines in 2014 and planned to commence operations in May of that year, although this did not occur.[3][4] On 8 September 2015, Guilin Airlines received preliminary approval from the CAAC.[6] In October the airline decided to use Airbus A319 aircraft for its fleet.[7]

Guilin Airlines was renamed Air Guilin in late 2015. On 9 December it unveiled its logo, which incorporates Guilin landmark Elephant Trunk Hill and the slogan of the city.[8] Air Guilin commenced operations on 25 June 2016 with a flight between Guilin and Zhengzhou.[9][10]

Corporate affairs[edit]

Air Guilin is a joint venture between Guilin Tourism Development Co. (60%) and Guilin Aviation Tourism Group (40%), an HNA Group subsidiary. The groups have invested a total of ¥600 million in the airline.[6][8]
