There are as many as 55 airlines in mainland China. In addition to the well-known "state-owned three giants" and "local six heroes", there are a large number of "minority" airlines. During the National Day holiday, many people will travel by air. It is necessary to know the relevant knowledge so as not to meet you at the airport but not recognize you.

If the "fleet size does not exceed 20" is taken as the "niche airline" standard, there are currently 15 passenger airlines in China that can be selected. They are:

Ruili Airlines is a private airline invested by a real estate owner in Yunnan, and its base is in Kunming. There are 7 737-700 and 13 737-800. The painting of Ruili Airlines is very beautiful, but there is a problem with its funds, which may be acquired by state-owned companies.

At present, the fleet size of "Jiuyuan Airlines" is equivalent to that of Ruili Airlines, with 20 aircraft. But it is a cheap subsidiary of Jixiang Airlines, so you don’t have to worry too much about the funds. The painting of Jiuyuan Airlines is very distinctive. Each frame has different colors, but they are all colored dots.

Of course, this can’t hide its heart: its heart is a crowded layout of 189 seats, and all 20 are like this!

Fuzhou Airlines is the one with low painting similarity in HNA Group, and it is a sad vest in HNA Group.

Fuzhou Airlines now has only 16 aircraft, but two of them are 737 MAX (and two have not been delivered), so it is greatly affected by grounding. The company is short of money, and almost all the planes are rented. Its public relations department doesn’t like the media to talk about any problems about its fleet. I don’t know why.

Another vest of HNA Group is Urumqi Airlines, which has developed very slowly. Now there are only 15 737-800 s and one ERJ-190 that never flies.

Changan Airlines is also a vest of Hainan Airlines, but compared with Fuzhou and Urumqi, it is obviously more like a "family".

Changan Airlines once merged with Hainan Airlines like Daxinhua, Xinhua and Shanxi Airlines, and it didn’t "start a new stove" until recent years. Its development is not fast either. Now there are only 11 737-800 aircraft.

In addition, the fleet size of Guilin Airlines in HNA Group is also 11. The painting is similar to that of Chang ‘an, and they all adopt red and yellow colors with similar styles. Because of the space, it is no longer mapped, so you can "read the words" carefully when you meet it.

HNA has a vest, and Air China also has a "vest". Air China now has Inner Mongolia Airlines, Dalian Airlines and Beijing Airlines, all of which are independently accounted for, but the painting is "very irresponsible to change Pakistan to Pakistan".

Dalian Airlines has a fleet size of 13, Air China has a fleet size of 8 in Inner Mongolia, and Beijing Airlines has only 4, all of which are clear Boeing 737s. If not "damn", these three are also "niche airlines".

Beijing Airlines, which has only four planes, is not the "smallest" passenger transport company in China, because there are only three "Grand China Airlines" under HNA, and only one "Shanxi Airlines" now. They are all wearing clothes of HNA Group, and only the word "China Xinhua Airlines" is different, so you can’t tell it unless you look carefully. In addition, there are five planes left on the fuselage.

Grand China Airlines has its own three-character code, which is regarded as an independent company; However, China Xinhua Airlines and Shanxi Airlines did not, and when counting the number of airlines, they could no longer count.

Many companies have "vests", and now even Xiamen Airlines has two vests. Jiangxi Airlines can be regarded as Xiamen Airlines vest in Nanchang ethically. At present, it has 10 737-800s and 2 ARJ 21-700s.

Because it is a "niche", I believe that there are not many people who have sat there. But it does have a Beijing route, and the time is quite good.

Colorful Guizhou is an airline run by the Guizhou provincial government. It used to take a "feeder road" and now it plays "both dry and branch". This is its A320neo plane, and now there are two.

Its fleet size is now two A320neo and nine pioneering ERJ-190, which also belong to "niche airlines".

Hongtu Airlines is a private airline based in Kunming. Now it can’t hold on. It was bought by Hunan Province and will be renamed "Hunan Airlines".

After several times of prostitution, its fleet size reached 12, all of which were narrow-body aircraft of Airbus-it seems not easy to survive.

Compared with "red soil", the fate of Longjiang Airlines is even more embarrassing. This "China’s strongest" private airline will be auctioned in the near future. I wonder if it can maintain its operation after the auction-if there are good people, save it.

Longjiang Airlines has only 2.5 planes for a long time. After renting two planes with the help of the epidemic, it should be 4.5 now.

Finally, there is a state-run "Tianjiao Airlines", which will not be released because it has not been filmed.
