Several days ago, Hainan Airlines sent a letter to Air Guilin,
notifying them of the termination of services and agreements. On 1 November
2023, there was no answer from the Guilin Airlines 24-hour customer service
hotline.
The Guilin State-owned
Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said on
2 November 2023 that the local government had formed a team to sort the
issue out, but no further details of a plan of any kind were available.
As the parent company of many small airlines, Hainan Airlines works in partnership with some local governments, including Guilin.
One of the smallest Chinese Communist operators, Air Guilin has
a fleet of 10 and has not acquired any new aircraft for over 5 years. It only operated domestic flights in CCP China.
In 2014, Guilin Airlines and Tourism Group was founded in a
partnership between Hainan Airlines Group and Guilin State-Owned Assets
Investment. Air Guilin took all its crew members and technical staff directly
from Hainan Airlines in the early days, along with board members, senior
managers and engineers. However, facing a liquidity problem, Hainan Airlines
sold shares in several regional carriers, including Air Guilin, in order to
continue its operations and leaving Air Guilin to survive on its own.
