The opening of the second airport at Daxing presents us with an opportunity to cement our commitment to Beijing Capital International Airport. This agreement now sets the foundation to provide a superior customer experience and achieve future growth at the Beijing hub”, said Christian Draeger, Vice President Customer Experience, Star Alliance. “On the occasion of its 10th anniversary as a Star Alliance member airline, Air China is proud to be able to play its role in securing the Alliance’s long-term presence at Beijing Capital International Airport”, said Zhao Xiaohang, Senior Vice President, Air China. “This is a win-win situation for all sides”, said Du Qiang, Vice President from Beijing Capital International Airport. “Having the commitment from Star Alliance allows us to secure the necessary resources to jointly provide an improved customer experience at our airport.” Under the MoU, the parties will cooperate to co-locate all Star Alliance member airlines in the same airport terminal.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility Report Air China Limited
    Air China Limited 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility Report Air China Limited Beijing – Warsaw Route In China’s “the Belt and Road” strategy, Poland plays an important role as China’s gateway to Europe due to its pivotal geographical significance. Sitting by the Vistula River, Warsaw is Poland’s Capital and political, economic and cultural centre. The launch of the Beijing – Warsaw Route by Air China, the second air route from China to Central and Eastern Europe following the Beijing – Minsk – Budapest Route launched in 2015, not only extended Air China’s global network with Beijing as the core hub, but also further enhanced the pattern of its route network connecting China and Central and Eastern Europe. This “Air Silk Road” not only promotes the social and economic development of the two countries, but also provides additional choices for passengers traveling between China and Europe. Shanghai – San Jose Route San Jose, known as the “Capital of Silicon Valley”, is the gathering place for successful industrialists and brilliant entrepreneurs from around the world. The headquarters, branches or R&D centres of hundreds of world-renowned companies were set up in San Jose. The Shanghai – San Jose direct route is Air China’s first air passage connecting Shanghai and North America, which made Air China the only airline provide direct flights between the two cities. The route provides business people and tourists travelling between the two places with a new and convenient choice, which not only consolidated Air China’s presence in America, but also improved the global network with Shanghai as an international portal, and further optimized and integrated the route network in Eastern China.
