History about Air China

Air China was established on July 1st, 1988 because of a split within the operating division of CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China). Just after CAAC was restructured in 1987, Air China, which was one of the six divisions, was given the responsibility for intercontinental flights and it took over CAAC's long haul routes and aircrafts. Air China was given autonomy on July 1st, 1988. In all these years, Air China has grown by leaps and bounds, and has evolved to be one of the best airlines in China, for both domestic and international air-travel. Air China got listed on London and Hong Kong Stock Exchange on December 15th, 2004. On August 18th, 2006, the airline got itself listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange. On December 12th, 2007, it formally joined the Star Alliance, which is the largest airline alliance in world.

On December 23rd, 2010, Air China started offering combo tickets, which included domestic flight tickets and shuttle bus service to nearby cities. The attempt was the first-ever made by any Chinese airline.
