History
 | This section needs to be updated. (July 2013) |
Originally named United Eagle Airlines Co., Ltd (鹰联航空公司; also known as UEAir), the company was founded in 2004 by a former executive of China Northwest Airlines, with the necessary funding being provided by the Vickers Financial Group.[4] It took delivery of its first airliner, an Airbus A320 that previously had belonged to Air Jamaica, on 8 July 2005[citation needed] and on 27 July, revenue flights were commenced.[4] Another similar aircraft type, the slightly smaller Airbus A319, was put in service with United Eagle Airlines on 2 December of that year.[citation needed]
In March 2009, Sichuan Airlines invested 200 million RMB (30 million USD) in United Eagle Airlines,[5] thus holding 76 percent of the shares.[4] In late 2009, these shares were sold to Chinese aircraft manufacturer Comac and to Chengdu Communications Investment Group. Following this ownership change, United Eagle Airlines placed a firm order for 30 Comac ARJ21s, the first of which initially was planned to be delivered in late 2010.[6]
On 23 January 2010, the airline was renamed Chengdu Airlines.[4][6]
