History[edit]

The previous logo of China Eastern Airlines until 2014.

China Eastern Airlines was established on 25 June 1988 under the Civil Aviation
Administration of China Huadong Administration. In 1997, China Eastern took over the
unprofitable China General Aviation and also became the country's first airline to offer
shares on the international market. In 1998 it founded China Cargo Airlines in a joint
venture with COSCO. In March 2001, it completed the takeover of Great Wall Airlines.
[5]
 China Yunnan Airlines and China Northwest Airlines merged into China Eastern
Airlines in 2003.[citation needed] The company slogan is World-Class Hospitality with Eastern
Charm (世界品位，东方魅力).[citation needed]

Liu Shaoyong in 2014

The Chinese government has a majority ownership stake in China Eastern Airlines
(61.64%), while some shares are publicly held (H shares, 32.19%); A shares, 6.17%.
On 20 April 2006 the media broke the news of a possible sale of up to 20% of its stake
to foreign investors, including Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Japan Airlines, with
Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway. [7][8]
After receiving approval from the State Council of China, it was announced that on 2
September 2007 Singapore Airlines and Temasek Holdings (holding company which
owns 55% of Singapore Airlines) would jointly acquire shares of China Eastern Airlines.
[9][10]
 On 9 November 2007 investors signed a final agreement to buy a combined 24%
stake in China Eastern Airlines: Singapore Airlines would own 15.73% and Temasek
Holdings an 8.27% stake in the airline. [11] Singapore Airlines' pending entry into the
Chinese market prompted the Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific to attempt to block the
deal by buying a significant stake in China Eastern and voting down the deal together
with Air China (which already held an 11% stake in China Eastern) at the shareholders'
meeting in December 2007.[12][13] However, on 24 September Cathay Pacific announced
that it had abandoned these plans.[14]
Air China's parent company, state-owned China National Aviation Corporation,
announced in January 2008 that it would offer 32% more than Singapore Airlines for the
24% stake in China Eastern, potentially complicating the deal that Singapore Airlines
and Temasek had proposed.[15] However, minority shareholders declined the offer made
by Singapore Airlines. It is thought that this was due to the massive effort made by Air
China to buy the 24% stake.[16]
On 11 June 2009, it was announced that China Eastern Airlines would merge with
Shanghai Airlines.[17] The merger of China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines was expected
to reduce excess competition between the two Shanghai-based carriers while
consolidating Shanghai's status as an international aviation hub. In February 2010 the
merger was completed.[18] Shanghai Airlines became a wholly owned subsidiary of China
Eastern Airlines. However, Shanghai Airlines retained its brand and livery. The new
combined airline was expected to have over half of the market share in Shanghai, the
financial hub of China.[citation needed] China Eastern Airlines also acquired China United
Airlines in October 2010.[19]
In March 2012, it was announced that China Eastern was forging a strategic
alliance with the Qantas Group to set up Jetstar Hong Kong, a new low cost airline to be
based at Hong Kong International Airport, which would commence operations in 2013.
[20]
 China Eastern would hold a 50% stake in the new airline, with the Qantas Group
holding the other 50%, representing a total investment of US$198 million. [21] However, in
June 2015, the Hong Kong authority refused to issue operating license to Jetstar Hong
Kong. China Eastern and Qantas subsequently announced the end of the investment.
[citation needed]

In April 2013, China Eastern got a temporary permit to operate in the Philippines, but
the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines required them to obtain a technical permit
and an airport slot.[22][23]
In 2012, China Eastern was awarded the “Golden Ting Award” at the China Capital
Market Annual Conference 2012, recognizing it as one of the 50 most valuable Chinese
brands by WPP and ranking in the top ten of FORTUNE China's CSR ranking 2013. [citation
needed]

On 9 September 2014, China Eastern introduced a new logo and new livery. [24] In 2015,
the airline entered a partnership with Delta Air Lines in which Delta will buy a 3.55%
share in China Eastern for $450 million. [25]
China Eastern from 30 June 2015, launched new service to the US, as the Skyteam
member plans three weekly Chengdu – Nanjing – Los Angeles operation with Airbus
A330-200 (twin-jet) (A332) aircraft.[26]
In 2017, China Eastern Airlines reported a net profit of CNY6.4 billion ($983 million), up
41% over net income of CNY4.5 billion in 2016. [27]
On 26 February 2020, China Eastern Airlines launched OTT Airlines as a subsidiary to
operate domestically produced aircraft, such as the Comac C919 and Comac ARJ21, in
the Yangtze Delta region in addition to business jet operations. [28][29]

Destinations[edit]
Main article: List of China Eastern Airlines destinations
China Eastern Airlines has a strong presence on routes in Asia, North
America and Australia. The airline looks to exploit the domestic market potential as it
boosts flight frequencies from Shanghai to other Chinese cities. The airline is also
accelerating the pace of international expansion by increasing flight frequencies to
international destinations. In 2007 it began operations to New York City from Shanghai,
making it the longest non-stop route for the airline. In 2016, China Eastern Airlines also
launched direct flights from Shanghai to Prague, Amsterdam, Madrid and St.
