About Beijing Capital Airlines
CBJ: Capital Airlines - Comprehensive Airline Information
Capital Airlines, with ICAO code CBJ, is a Chinese low-cost airline established in 1995 as Deer Jet Airlines. It began offering international services under the "Deer Air" brand in 1998. In 2010, the airline underwent a restructuring, dividing into two separate entities: a charter operation retaining the Deer Jet brand and a scheduled airline renamed Beijing Capital Airlines. It operates as a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines and is 70% owned by HNA Aviation, with joint funding from the Beijing Municipal Government and HNA Group.
The airline's main hub of operations shifted from Beijing Capital International Airport to Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) following its completion in 2019. It also maintains a secondary hub in Hangzhou and a focus city in Qingdao. Capital Airlines operates a modern fleet consisting entirely of Airbus aircraft, including models from the A320neo family, A330-200, A330-300, and the A320ceo series, with a total fleet size ranging from 81 to 88 aircraft.
Capital Airlines provides both domestic and international scheduled and charter services, focusing on international air passenger and cargo transport operations. Its extensive route network covers major first- and second-tier cities across China, as well as international destinations in Europe, North America, Oceania, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, flying to over 75 to 100 destinations globally. While not a member of any major global airline alliance, Capital Airlines does hold codeshare agreements with several airlines, including TAP Air Portugal and Azul. The airline offers Economy and Business Class cabins. Business Class provides a 1-2-1 seating layout for enhanced privacy, 180° full flat seats, power outlets, and noise-reduction headphones. Economy Class features a 115° recline, 32-inch legroom, and power outlets.
