Air China Limited is the flag carrier and one of the major airlines of the People's Republic of China, with headquarters in Shunyi District, Beijing and hub at Beijing Capital International Airport.
Air China was established and commenced operations on 1 July 1988 as a result of the Chinese government's decision in late 1987 to split the operating divisions of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) into six separate airlines: Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, China Northern, China Southwest, and China Northwest. Air China was given chief responsibility for intercontinental flights and took over the CAAC's long haul aircraft and routes. Air China Cargo is an all-cargo susidiary of Air China.
Air China is a member of Star Alliance since 12 December 2007.
