Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox airline
CAAC Airlines (Шаблон:Zh), formerly the People's Aviation Company of China (中國人民航空公司), was the airline division of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the monopoly civil airline in the People's Republic of China. It was founded on 17 July 1952, and merged into CAAC on 9 June 1953. In 1988, the monopoly was broken up and CAAC Airlines was split into six regional airlines, which later consolidated into China's Big Three airlines: Beijing-based Air China, Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines, and Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines.
In 1962, CAAC began operating international services, initially to other countries in the communist bloc, such as the Soviet Union, Mongolia, North Korea, Laos, Burma, Bangladesh, North Vietnam, and Cambodia.[1] By the mid-1980s, CAAC had long-haul service to the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, mainly using American Boeing aircraft, while continuing to use Soviet aircraft on routes to Eastern Europe.[2]
Separation
In 1988, CAAC Airlines split into six separate airlines, each named after the geographic region of their main operating areas:
- Air China, the flag carrier, based in Beijing, inherited the IATA and ICAO airline code of CAAC
- China Southwest Airlines, based in Chengdu (merged into Air China in 2002)
- China Eastern Airlines, based in Shanghai
- China Northwest Airlines, based in Xi'an (merged into China Eastern in 2002)
- China Southern Airlines, based in Guangzhou
- China Northern Airlines, based in Shenyang (merged into China Southern in 2003)
CAAC used the IATA code CA on international flights only; domestic flights were not prefixed with the airline code.
CAAC's aircraft livery featured the Chinese national flag on the vertical stabilizer, with blue stripe cheatline and Chinese version of CAAC logo (designed by Lu Shifang in 1965,[3] with the calligraphy of Premier Zhou Enlai) on a white fuselage. The most of the livery designs, especially the blue stripe cheatline, were also used by Air China.
Fleet
CAAC Airlines consisted of the following aircraft:[5][6][7]
