Jiangxi Air Co., Ltd. is a Chinese low-cost carrier[3] with its headquarters at Nanchang Changbei International Airport, Jiangxi.[4] It is a joint venture between XiamenAir and the Jiangxi Provincial Government.

History

On 13 August 2014, XiamenAir and the Jiangxi Provincial Government signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the establishment of an airline based in the province.[5]

On 17 March 2015, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) granted Jiangxi Air preliminary approval to begin operations. The airline was granted its air operator's certificate on 8 December.[5]

On 14 December 2015, Jiangxi Air received its first Boeing 737-800 aircraft, from parent XiamenAir,[6] while unveiling its logo. Its livery consists of a crane, symbolising the environmental beauty of Jiangxi Province; and the colours blue and white, representing the famous porcelain of Jingdezhen in the province.[5]

On 30 December 2015, the airline conducted its first test flight, from Nanchang to Xiamen.[5] It received its air operator's certificate on 8 January 2016, allowing it to commence commercial flights.[7]

Jiangxi Air operated its first flight on 29 January 2016, from Nanchang to Ürümqi via Xi'an.[8][9] It is initially using pilots, flight attendants, maintenance staff, and other staff from XiamenAir.[10]
