China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited is an airline headquartered in Shanghai, China. It is a major Chinese airline operating international, domestic and regional routes.
China Eastern Airlines was established on 25 June 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. China Eastern took over unprofitable China General Aviation in 1997 and completed the takeover of Great Wall Airlines in March 2001. China Yunnan Airlines, China Northwest Airlines and Wuhan Airlines merged into China Eastern Airlines in 2003.
China Eastern and its subsidiary Shanghai Airlines became the 14th member of SkyTeam on 21 June 2011.
