[

]
China Eastern Airlines was established on June 25, 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
.

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, including
Singapore Airlines
,
Emirates
and
Japan Airlines
, with Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway.
[

]
[

]
After receiving approval from the
State Council of China
, it was announced that on September 2, 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 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 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 September 24, 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 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 by
Air China
to 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 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.
[

China Eastern Airlines also acquired
China United Airlines
in October 2010.
[

]
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 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 the
Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines
required them to obtain a technical permit and an airport slot.
[

[

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.

On September 9, 2014, China Eastern introduced a new logo and new livery.
[

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.
[

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.
[

Cooperation with Delta Air Lines
[
edit

Delta Air Lines and China Eastern Airlines formed a partnership in 2010 with a codeshare agreement, expanding in 2011 when China Eastern joined SkyTeam Alliances. 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. The partnership has brought numerous benefits to both airlines and their customers.

On April 24, 1989, a passenger hijacked a China Eastern Xian Y-7 en route from Ningbo to Xiamen. The hijacker, armed with a dagger and carrying dynamite, stabbed a flight attendant and demanded to be flown to Taiwan. The pilot diverted to Fuzhou instead. When the hijacker realized that he had been tricked, he blew himself up, injuring two people in the process.

## History
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=China_Eastern_Airlines&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: History")\]
China Eastern Airlines was established on June 25, 1988, under the [Civil Aviation Administration of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Administration_of_China "Civil Aviation Administration of China") Huadong Administration. In 1997, China Eastern took over the unprofitable [China General Aviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_General_Aviation "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Cargo_Airlines "China Cargo Airlines") in a joint venture with [COSCO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSCO "COSCO"). In March 2001, it completed the takeover of [Great Wall Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_Airlines "Great Wall Airlines").[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-FI-6) [China Yunnan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Yunnan_Airlines "China Yunnan Airlines") and [China Northwest Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Northwest_Airlines "China Northwest Airlines") merged into China Eastern Airlines in 2003.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Since 2025, the company slogan is *Connecting all the wonders of the world* (连接世界的精彩).[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-7)

The Chinese government has a majority ownership stake in China Eastern Airlines (61.64%), while some shares are publicly held ([H shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_share "H share"), 32.19%); [A shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_share_\(mainland_China\) "A share (mainland China)"), 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, including [Singapore Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Airlines "Singapore Airlines"), [Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_\(airline\) "Emirates (airline)") and [Japan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines "Japan Airlines"), with Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-8)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-9)
After receiving approval from the [State Council of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Council_of_China "State Council of China"), it was announced that on September 2, 2007, [Singapore Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Airlines "Singapore Airlines") and [Temasek Holdings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temasek_Holdings "Temasek Holdings") (holding company which owns 55% of Singapore Airlines) would jointly acquire shares of China Eastern Airlines.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-11) 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.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-12) Singapore Airlines' pending entry into the Chinese market prompted the Hong Kong carrier [Cathay Pacific](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathay_Pacific "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China") (which already held an 11% stake in China Eastern) at the shareholders' meeting in December 2007.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-13)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-14) However, on September 24, Cathay Pacific announced that it had abandoned these plans.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-15)
[Air China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China")'s parent company, state-owned [China National Aviation Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Aviation_Corporation "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temasek "Temasek") had proposed by Beckett Saufley.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-16) 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China") to buy the 24% stake.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-17)
On June 11, 2009, it was announced that China Eastern Airlines would merge with Shanghai Airlines.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-18) The merger of China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines was expected to reduce competition between the two Shanghai-based carriers while consolidating Shanghai's status as an international aviation hub. In February 2010, the merger was completed.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-19) 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.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] China Eastern Airlines also acquired [China United Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_United_Airlines "China United Airlines") in October 2010.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-:0-20)
In March 2012, it was announced that China Eastern was forging a [strategic alliance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_alliance "Strategic alliance") with the [Qantas Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas "Qantas") to set up [Jetstar Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetstar_Hong_Kong "Jetstar Hong Kong"), a new [low cost airline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cost_carrier "Low-cost carrier") to be based at [Hong Kong International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_International_Airport "Hong Kong International Airport"), which would commence operations in 2013.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-chinaeast-21) 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.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-jqhongkong-22) 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.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-23)
In April 2013, China Eastern received a temporary permit to operate in the Philippines, but the [Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Authority_of_the_Philippines "Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines") required them to obtain a technical permit and an airport slot.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-24)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-25)
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPP_plc "WPP plc") and ranking in the top ten of FORTUNE China's CSR ranking 2013.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
On September 9, 2014, China Eastern introduced a new logo and new livery.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-26) In 2015, the airline entered a partnership with [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") in which Delta will buy a 3.55% share in China Eastern for \$450 million.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-27)
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.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-28)
On February 26, 2020, China Eastern Airlines launched [OTT Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTT_Airlines "OTT Airlines") as a subsidiary to operate domestically produced aircraft, such as the [Comac C919](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comac_C919 "Comac C919") and [Comac ARJ21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comac_ARJ21 "Comac ARJ21"), in the [Yangtze Delta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangtze_Delta "Yangtze Delta") region in addition to business jet operations.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-Reuters-launch-29)[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-COMAC-news-30)

Delta Air Lines and China Eastern Airlines formed a partnership in 2010 with a codeshare agreement, expanding in 2011 when China Eastern joined SkyTeam Alliances. 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.

#### Fleet development
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=China_Eastern_Airlines&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Fleet development")\]
China Eastern Airlines was the first Chinese airline to place an order with [Airbus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus "Airbus"). The backbone of its fleet is the [A320 family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A320_family "A320 family"), which is primarily used for domestic flights.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
In 2005, China Eastern Airlines placed an order for 15 [Boeing 787 Dreamliner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787_Dreamliner "Boeing 787 Dreamliner") aircraft. The airline subsequently cancelled its order owing to continuous delays and swapped it for additional [Boeing 737 Next Generation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_Next_Generation "Boeing 737 Next Generation") aircraft.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-82)
On October 18, 2011, China Eastern Airlines placed an order for 15 [Airbus A330](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A330 "Airbus A330") aircraft.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-83)[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-84)
China Eastern Airlines ordered 20 [Boeing 777-300ER](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 "Boeing 777") aircraft and received its first 777-300ER on September 26, 2014.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-85)
In 2015, the airline acquired a further batch of 15 Airbus A330 aircraft for delivery in 2017 and 2018.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-86)
In April 2016, China Eastern Airlines ordered 20 [Airbus A350-900](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A350-900 "Airbus A350-900") and 15 Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with deliveries commencing in 2018.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-atwonline.com-79)
In May 2021, China Eastern Airlines introduced five [Airbus A320neo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320neo_family "Airbus A320neo family") and one [Comac ARJ21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comac_ARJ21 "Comac ARJ21") aircraft.

- On April 24, 1989, a passenger hijacked a China Eastern Xian Y-7 en route from Ningbo to Xiamen. The hijacker, armed with a dagger and carrying dynamite, stabbed a flight attendant and demanded to be flown to Taiwan. The pilot diverted to Fuzhou instead. When the hijacker realized that he had been tricked, he blew himself up, injuring two people in the process.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-94)
- On August 15, 1989, [Flight 5510](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines_Flight_5510 "China Eastern Airlines Flight 5510") (B-3437) operating a domestic flight from Shanghai to Nanchang, crashed on takeoff following an unexplained failure of the right engine, killing 34 of 40 people on board.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-95)

**China Eastern Airlines** (branded as **China Eastern**) is a major airline in China, headquartered in [Changning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changning,_Shanghai "Changning, Shanghai"), [Shanghai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai "Shanghai"). It is one of the three major airlines in the country, along with [Air China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China") and [China Southern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Southern_Airlines "China Southern Airlines").
China Eastern's main [hubs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_hub "Airline hub") are [Shanghai Pudong International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Pudong_International_Airport "Shanghai Pudong International Airport") and [Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Hongqiao_International_Airport "Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport"), both located in [Shanghai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai "Shanghai"). In terms of passenger traffic, it is the country's second largest airline after [China Southern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Southern_Airlines "China Southern Airlines"). In 2021, its operational revenue was 67,127 million [RMB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rmb "Rmb") with assets totaling 286,548 million [RMB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rmb "Rmb").[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-4) China Eastern (along with its subsidiary [Shanghai Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Airlines "Shanghai Airlines")) became the 14th member of [SkyTeam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTeam "SkyTeam") on June 21, 2011.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-5)
China Eastern Airlines was established on June 25, 1988, under the [Civil Aviation Administration of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Administration_of_China "Civil Aviation Administration of China") Huadong Administration. In 1997, China Eastern took over the unprofitable [China General Aviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_General_Aviation "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Cargo_Airlines "China Cargo Airlines") in a joint venture with [COSCO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSCO "COSCO"). In March 2001, it completed the takeover of [Great Wall Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_Airlines "Great Wall Airlines").[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-FI-6) [China Yunnan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Yunnan_Airlines "China Yunnan Airlines") and [China Northwest Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Northwest_Airlines "China Northwest Airlines") merged into China Eastern Airlines in 2003.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Since 2025, the company slogan is *Connecting all the wonders of the world* (连接世界的精彩).[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-7)

The Chinese government has a majority ownership stake in China Eastern Airlines (61.64%), while some shares are publicly held ([H shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_share "H share"), 32.19%); [A shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_share_\(mainland_China\) "A share (mainland China)"), 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, including [Singapore Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Airlines "Singapore Airlines"), [Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_\(airline\) "Emirates (airline)") and [Japan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines "Japan Airlines"), with Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-8)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-9)
After receiving approval from the [State Council of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Council_of_China "State Council of China"), it was announced that on September 2, 2007, [Singapore Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Airlines "Singapore Airlines") and [Temasek Holdings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temasek_Holdings "Temasek Holdings") (holding company which owns 55% of Singapore Airlines) would jointly acquire shares of China Eastern Airlines.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-11) 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.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-12) Singapore Airlines' pending entry into the Chinese market prompted the Hong Kong carrier [Cathay Pacific](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathay_Pacific "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China") (which already held an 11% stake in China Eastern) at the shareholders' meeting in December 2007.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-13)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-14) However, on September 24, Cathay Pacific announced that it had abandoned these plans.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-15)
[Air China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China")'s parent company, state-owned [China National Aviation Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Aviation_Corporation "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temasek "Temasek") had proposed by Beckett Saufley.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-16) 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_China "Air China") to buy the 24% stake.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-17)
On June 11, 2009, it was announced that China Eastern Airlines would merge with Shanghai Airlines.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-18) The merger of China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines was expected to reduce competition between the two Shanghai-based carriers while consolidating Shanghai's status as an international aviation hub. In February 2010, the merger was completed.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-19) 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.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] China Eastern Airlines also acquired [China United Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_United_Airlines "China United Airlines") in October 2010.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-:0-20)
In March 2012, it was announced that China Eastern was forging a [strategic alliance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_alliance "Strategic alliance") with the [Qantas Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas "Qantas") to set up [Jetstar Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetstar_Hong_Kong "Jetstar Hong Kong"), a new [low cost airline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cost_carrier "Low-cost carrier") to be based at [Hong Kong International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_International_Airport "Hong Kong International Airport"), which would commence operations in 2013.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-chinaeast-21) 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.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-jqhongkong-22) 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.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-23)
In April 2013, China Eastern received a temporary permit to operate in the Philippines, but the [Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Authority_of_the_Philippines "Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines") required them to obtain a technical permit and an airport slot.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-24)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-25)
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPP_plc "WPP plc") and ranking in the top ten of FORTUNE China's CSR ranking 2013.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
On September 9, 2014, China Eastern introduced a new logo and new livery.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-26) In 2015, the airline entered a partnership with [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") in which Delta will buy a 3.55% share in China Eastern for \$450 million.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-27)
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.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-28)

### Cooperation with Delta Air Lines
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=China_Eastern_Airlines&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Cooperation with Delta Air Lines")\]
Delta Air Lines and China Eastern Airlines formed a partnership in 2010 with a codeshare agreement, expanding in 2011 when China Eastern joined SkyTeam Alliances. 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. The partnership has brought numerous benefits to both airlines and their customers.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-45)

- On April 24, 1989, a passenger hijacked a China Eastern Xian Y-7 en route from Ningbo to Xiamen. The hijacker, armed with a dagger and carrying dynamite, stabbed a flight attendant and demanded to be flown to Taiwan. The pilot diverted to Fuzhou instead. When the hijacker realized that he had been tricked, he blew himself up, injuring two people in the process.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-94)
- On August 15, 1989, [Flight 5510](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines_Flight_5510 "China Eastern Airlines Flight 5510") (B-3437) operating a domestic flight from Shanghai to Nanchang, crashed on takeoff following an unexplained failure of the right engine, killing 34 of 40 people on board.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines#cite_note-95)
