China United Airlines was founded in 1986 as a carrier run by the People's Liberation Army Air Force, an unusual origin among Chinese airlines. Civilian operations were relaunched in 2005, and the airline later became the low-cost subsidiary of the China Eastern group.
For years China United was the sole airline at Beijing Nanyuan, China's oldest airport, opened in 1910. It moved its entire operation to Beijing Daxing on the day Nanyuan closed in 2019, becoming one of the new airport's first tenants. The fleet is built around the Boeing 737 on domestic routes.
