History

[edit]

China Eastern Airlines was established on June 25, 1988, under theCivil Aviation Administration of ChinaHuadong Administration. In 1997, China Eastern took over the unprofitableChina General Aviationand also became the country's first airline to offer shares on the international market. In 1998, it foundedChina Cargo Airlinesin a joint venture withCOSCO.In March 2001, it completed the takeover ofGreat Wall Airlines.[6]China Yunnan AirlinesandChina Northwest Airlinesmerged into China Eastern Airlines in 2003.[citation needed]The company slogan isWorld-Class Hospitality with Eastern Charm(Thế giới phẩm vị, phương đông mị lực).[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 April 20, 2006, the media broke the news of a possible sale of up to 20% of its stake to foreign investors, includingSingapore Airlines,EmiratesandJapan Airlines,with Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway.[7][8]

After receiving approval from theState Council of China,it was announced that on September 2, 2007,Singapore AirlinesandTemasek Holdings(holding company which owns 55% of Singapore Airlines) would jointly acquire shares of China Eastern Airlines.[9][10]On November 9, 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 carrierCathay Pacificto attempt to block the deal by buying a significant stake in China Eastern and voting down the deal together withAir China(which already held an 11% stake in China Eastern) at the shareholders' meeting in December 2007.[12][13]However, on September 24, Cathay Pacific announced that it had abandoned these plans.[14]

Air China's parent company, state-ownedChina 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 andTemasekhad proposed by Beckett Saufley.[15]However, minority shareholders declined the offer made by Singapore Airlines. It is thought that this was due to the massive effort made byAir Chinato buy the 24% stake.[16]

On June 11, 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 acquiredChina United Airlinesin October 2010.[19]

In March 2012, it was announced that China Eastern was forging astrategic alliancewith theQantas Groupto set upJetstar Hong Kong,a newlow cost airlineto be based atHong 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 Air Transport Licensing Authority refused to issue an operating license to Jetstar Hong Kong. China Eastern and Qantas subsequently announced the end of the investment.[22]

In April 2013, China Eastern received a temporary permit to operate in the Philippines, but theCivil Aviation Authority of the Philippinesrequired them to obtain a technical permit and an airport slot.[23][24]

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 byWPPand ranking in the top ten of FORTUNE China's CSR ranking 2013.[citation needed]

On September 9, 2014, China Eastern introduced a new logo and new livery.[25]In 2015, the airline entered a partnership withDelta Air Linesin which Delta will buy a 3.55% share in China Eastern for $450 million.[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 February 26, 2020, China Eastern Airlines launchedOTT Airlinesas a subsidiary to operate domestically produced aircraft, such as theComac C919andComac ARJ21,in theYangtze Deltaregion in addition to business jet operations.[28][29]

They connected 42 city pairs between the U.S. and China and fostered a strong friendship. In 2015, they entered into an equity partnership, with Delta investing $450 million for a 3.55% stake in China Eastern. This led to significant achievements, including an expanded network with over 170 city pairs and the launch of Trans-China baggage check-through service.
