Shenzhen Airlines (Chinese: 深圳航空; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Hángkōng) is a domestic and international airline headquartered in Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.[1][2]

With a fleet of over 100 narrowbody aircraft (a mix of Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737 Next Generation types), Shenzhen Airlines is the fourth largest domestic carrier in the Chinese market with around 7% of seat capacity and flights.[3]

The carrier operates a total of 137 domestic airport-pairs involving 58 Chinese airports, plus nine international routes. In 2010, the airline carried 16.5 million passengers, up 9% on the previous year.[3]

On 6 July 2011, Shenzhen Airlines was formally accepted as a future member of Star Alliance.[4] On 29 November 2012 the airline officially joined Star Alliance becoming the alliance's second member in China following the departure of Shanghai Airlines in 2010.[5]
