Okay Airways, the first privately owned airline in China, held its first cargo flight from Guangzhou to Hangzhou in February to break the dominance of state-owned airlines. The airline will engage in cargo business, and is targeting Hangzhou as its hub. Last November, the Civil Aviation Administration of China awarded Okay Airlines three flights: Shenyang-Tianjin-Qingdao-Hangzhou, Hangzhou-Beijing-Qingdao-Shenyang and Xiamen-Guangzhou-Hangzhou. Liu Jieyin, president of Okay Airlines, said: “The domestic air freight market is increasing quite rapidly. We think highly of this business.” Hangzhou will be the originating point of all Okay Airways flights in the future.
