Shanghai Airlines - a photo on Flickriver

Shanghai Airlines

            The airline was established and started operations in 1985. It was founded by the Shanghai municipal government as the first independently-run local airline in China. It was initially restricted to domestic flights, but in September 1997, won government approval to operate international services. In October 2002, it began to issue shares on the Shanghai stock market. It launched domestic freighter services in May 2004.  It is the fifth-largest airline of China in terms of fleet size. In 2006, a cargo airline, Shanghai Airlines Cargo, was established with Taiwan-based EVA Air. In its 22-year history, with the contribution of its well-recognized Flight Operations Quality Assurance(FOQA) program, Shanghai Airlines has had zero accidents, fatalities or severe damage to its aircraft, making it one of the safest airlines in Asia; and possibly the world.  Shanghai Airlines does not plan to merge with other airlines and will concentrate on being an independent airline, with Shanghai as its hub, according to Shanghai Airlines Vice Managing Director Gu Jiadan.
Shanghai Airlines was officially welcomed as the 19th member of the Star Alliance on December 12, 2007. With that, it plans to dedicate Terminal 2 of Pudong International Airport to its Star Alliance partners.
Shanghai Airlines Chief Executive Officer Fan Hongxi says that Shanghai Airlines expects to have a fleet of 100 aircraft by 2010 that can handle 17.7 million passengers and 1.5 million tons of cargo and mail annually. It is also focusing on growing its market share in Australia, Europe, the United States and Canada in the next five years.
