Beijing Capital Airlines (Chinese: 首都航空; pinyin: Shǒudū Hángkōng), operating as Beijing Capital, is a Chinese low-cost airline based in Beijing Capital International Airport. It is a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines.

History

Deer Jet logo

The company was established in 1995 as Deer Jet Airlines (Chinese: 金鹿航空; pinyin: Jīnlù Hángkōng). In 1998, it began offering international services under the Deer Air branding. In October 2007, it received its first Airbus A319 and began returning the formerly operated Boeing 737s. Deer Jet began providing charter services in December 2008 using a fleet of A319s and corporate jets. The airline was authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to operate scheduled air services in 2009.

On 2 April 2010, Beijing Capital Airlines CO., LTD. launched its first service, based in Beijing Capital International Airport.[1][2] Deer Jet Airlines was divided into two companies on May 4, 2010. While the charter operation has kept the Deer Jet branding, scheduled operations using Airbus aircraft were renamed Capital Airlines. Capital Airlines operates mainly in China (including the Hong Kong and Macao special autonomous regions) and Taiwan, focusing on international air passenger service and cargo transport operations.[3][4][5]

Destinations

Since 2015, long haul flights between China and other cities have been operated by Beijing Capital Airlines with Airbus A330 aircraft. The airline planned to commence long-haul flights to Helsinki, Mexico City and Zagreb in the first half of 2017.[6] The opening of these international routes aimed to solve the lack of international direct flight services. These also significantly stimulate domestic and international market and push forward the development of tourism resources, as well as promote local economic and social development. In the future, Capital Airlines will be leveraging the Chinese outbound tourism market, developing more tourism products, further improving the domestic and international route network. Capital Airlines wishes to make an important contribution to domestic and international cultural exchange and development.[citation needed]

In November 2016, Beijing Capital Airlines announced the launch of a Vancouver-Qingdao-Hangzhou service on December 30, 2016, to be served by Airbus A330 aircraft.[7]
