The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has approved the launch of Hangzhou-based CDI Cargo Airlines. It will initially acquire one Boeing 737-800 with plans to introduce two more of the type.
The new cargo venture has a registered capital of CNY200 million ($31.8 million). Huixiang Industrial Investment Co., which invested CNY102 million, has a 51% ownership. Haofu Group holds a 24% stake, Asia Yingsheng Investment Co. holds 15% and Caulfield Investment Co. holds the remaining 10%.
The CAAC appears to be softening its tough stance on restricting approval of new entrants . In 2007, the CAAC said it would not approve any new start-ups until 2010 except cargo carriers, West China-based carriers or those that operate domestically produced regional aircraft because there were too many privately run domestic carriers after restrictions were loosened in 2004.
