About China United

China United Airlines is a low-cost carrier based in Beijing, China, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines [1, 3]. Originally established in 1986 as a civil transport division of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, it transitioned to a commercial low-cost model and now operates primarily out of Beijing Daxing International Airport [1, 3, 4]. Uniquely, it is the only Chinese airline permitted to use military air bases as destinations [1].
