Company Profile

Okay Airways is an airline based in Tianjin, People's Republic of China. It operates passenger charter services and plans to expand into scheduled passenger and dedicated cargo services. It is based at Tianjin Binhai International Airport. Flights were suspended for one month beginning on December 15, 2008, due to a dispute between the carrier and its shareholders.

History

Okay Airways was established in June 2004 and in February 2005 received an aviation carrier business license from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). It is China's first private sector airline. The carrier's maiden flight from its base in Tianjin to Changsha was on March 11, 2005, with 81 people on board.

In August 2005, the airline signed a letter of intent with Korean Air under which it and another Korean company were to have acquired 49% of the airline, but agreement could not be reached over the issue of control and the deal failed. Okay Airways leased three Boeing 737-300F aircraft and started cargo services as a local partner of FedEx Express in March 2007.

On 15 December 2008 the airline suspended passenger operations. Passenger operations resumed on 24 January 2009.
