Should it secure the official greenlight, it would become the second Hainan Airlines (HU, Haikou) subsidiary to operate intercontinental services after Capital Airlines (China) (JD, Beijing Capital) which launched flights to Europe this past summer.

Tianjin Airlines currently operates a fleeet of eighteen A320-200s, fifty EMB-190s, and twenty-two ERJ-145s on flights across China as well as to Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Russia, and Taiwan
