About Xiamen Airlines

Xiamen Airlines (εŽ¦ι—¨θˆͺη©Ί) is a major Chinese carrier headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian Province, and a proud member of the SkyTeam global alliance. Founded in 1984, it holds the distinction of being the first airline jointly established by a Chinese government entity and a local authority β€” a milestone in China's civil aviation reform.

A subsidiary of China Southern Airlines, Xiamen Airlines has grown from a small regional carrier into one of China's most consistently profitable airlines, known across the industry for its unbroken profitability record spanning more than three decades. It operates an all-Boeing fleet, reflecting a long-standing commitment to a streamlined, modern aircraft portfolio.

The airline's network spans domestic destinations across mainland China as well as international and regional routes throughout Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Key hubs include Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Fuzhou Changle International Airport, and Ningbo Lishe International Airport, from which it serves leisure travellers, business passengers, and cargo customers alike.

Xiamen Airlines places strong emphasis on service quality, punctuality, and passenger comfort. Its Dreamliner-operated long-haul routes bring the airline's warm, Fujian-inspired hospitality to travellers across the globe, while its extensive domestic network makes it a vital connector for communities throughout China.
