China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines

CHINA EASTERN, which besides a major regional network also flies to Europe and North America, has acquired Shanghai Airlines.  Shanghai has an extensive domestic hub and had aspirations to go international.  China Eastern has been the worst performer of the country’s struggling airline industry and earlier this year suspended its London services.  Shanghai Airlines is currently a member of Star Alliance whilst China Eastern is not aligned.  The airline currently operates one Airbus A321, delivered last week, 55 various Boeing, and five Bombardier regional jets.  China Eastern has 242 aircraft, a mixture of Airbus and Boeing. www.flychinaeastern.com
