  • Guilin Airlines, named after the tourist city of Guilin in Guangxi, China, suspended its commercial flight operations on November 3, 2023, due to non-operational issues, marking the first such suspension in China's civil aviation industry in 15 years. It resumed flights on February 1, 2024, with significant local government support and completely disengaged from its previous aviation service partner Hainan Airlines Group (HNA).
  • The suspension and resumption of Guilin Airlines' operations were attributed to a shareholder dispute over control between HNA and Guilin's local state-owned assets supervision and administration commission. Despite re-launching operations, only two out of ten aircraft were operational as of March 14, 2024, indicating ongoing challenges.
  • The airline faced financial difficulties before the suspension with negative net assets at the end of 2023 and legal disputes regarding ownership still pending resolution. The future development of Guilin Airlines remains uncertain amidst these challenges and ongoing legal battles over control rights between HNA and local government entities.
