XiamenAir's first wholly-owned airline subsidiary headquartered in Nanchang, Jiangxi Air (previously known as Jiangxi Airlines), plans to launch its official inaugural scheduled flight on 18 January 2016 from Nanchang. At press time, Jiangxi Air has not announced which Chinese city it is choosing to start flying to regularly.
According to Chinese media in Nanchang, Jiangxi Air that was awarded its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) on 8 December 2015 will launch regular scheduled flights from Nanchang to Xiamen, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Guiyang, Haikou and to Urumqi via Xi'an in 2016. Gradually, it will also launch scheduled flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunmng, Zhengzhou and Tianjin.
Within five years, Jiangxi Air plans to launch international flights to Singapore, Suvarnabhumi, Kuala Lumpur, Incheon, Tokyo and as far as Europe and North America.
Jiangxi Air carried out its first test flight from Nanchang to Xiamen on 30 December 2015 using its first Boeing B737-800 which first landed in Nanchang from Haikou on 14 December 2015. On 30 December, its flight RY8700 departed from Nanchang at 10 am and touched down in Xiamen at 11.10 am. The outbound flight to Nanchang took place in the afternoon under flight RY8800. Both legs of the return journey were delayed by one hour.
Jiangxi Air will receive its second B737-800 on 17 January 2016 and its official inaugural scheduled flight will be launched on 18 January. The airline plans to increase its fleet to 20 all-Economy Class B737-800 aircraft by 2020.
A joint venture between XiamenAir and Jiangxi Aviation Investment Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Air unveiled its aircraft livery and logo which shows an overall integration of Jiangxi heritage elements including the blue and white porcelain, crane, jade wall and the aircraft engine and other graphic elements.
Designer Duan Xu described Jiangxi Air's logo, "the blue and white porcelain represents Jiangxi and China while crane stands for flight and progress of Jiangxi. The aircraft engine symbolizes the unlimited energy of Jiangxi development while the jade wall suggests perfect harmony".
Jiangxi Air was established on 2 March 2015 on the basis of the official venture agreement signed by XiamenAir and Jiangxi Aviation Investment Co., Ltd. dated 13 August 2014. It aims to offer budget air fares and more direct routes to residents and tourists of Nanchang when operations begin.
Jiangxi Aviation Investment Co., Ltd. is involved in Jiangxi airline and travel management operations and organizing intra-Asian charter flights from Nanchang to Siem Reap using Sky Angkor Airlines' aircraft, Nha Trang and Denpasar.
