History[edit]
Hongtu Airlines received preliminary approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on 26 March 2015.[2] In October 2015, the airline's livery was revealed. The red color represents the famous red earth of Dongchuan District in Yunnan Province; in fact, Hongtu in the airline's name translates to red soil.[3]
On 22 December 2015, Hongtu Airlines took delivery of its first aircraft, an Airbus A321 originally destined for UTair Aviation.[4] The aircraft is named Dai after the Dai people, an ethnic minority in Yunnan Province.[5] Hongtu Airlines held an inauguration ceremony on 20 May 2016 and began flights the following day,[6] with the inaugural flight operating between Kunming and Nanchang.[7]
Corporate affairs[edit]
Hongtu Airlines is headquartered near Kunming Changshui International Airport.[8] The airline is a joint venture between Kunming Evergreen Financing (30%); local entrepreneur Tang Longcheng (20%); and five other companies, each holding 10%. The parties have invested a total of CNY600 million (USD96.6 million) in the airline.[3][4]
