China Eastern is a major Chinese airline operating international, domestic and regional routes. It is China's second-largest carrier by passenger numbers. China Eastern and its subsidiary, Shanghai Airlines,  became the 14th member of SkyTeam on 21 June 2011. The parent company of China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited is China Eastern Air Holding Company.

China Eastern Airlines was established on 25 June 1988. In 1997, China Eastern took over the unprofitable China General Aviation, and also became the country's first airline to offer shares on the international market. In 1998 it founded China Cargo Airlines in a joint venture with COSCO. In March 2001, it completed the takeover of Great Wall Airlines. China Yunnan Airlines and China Northwest Airlines merged into China Eastern Airlines in 2003. 

On 11 June 2009, it was announced that China Eastern Airlines would merge with Shanghai Airlines. The merger of China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines was expected to reduce excess competition between the two Shanghai-based carriers while consolidating Shanghai's status as an international aviation hub. In February 2010 the merger was completed. Shanghai Airlines became a wholly owned subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines. However, Shanghai Airlines retained its brand and livery. The new combined airline was expected to have over half of the market share in Shanghai, the financial hub of China.

China Eastern have a fleet of 534 aircraft, with 155 on order. China Eastern Airlines was the first Chinese airline to place an order with Airbus. The backbone of the fleet is the A320 series, which are used primarily on domestic flights. In 2005, China Eastern Airlines placed an order for 15 Boeing 787's. The airline subsequently cancelled its order owing to continuous delays, instead swapping the 787 order for the B737NG. On 18 October 2011, China Eastern Airlines placed an order for 15 A330's. On 27 April 2012, China Eastern Airlines ordered 20 B777's. The airline received its first 777-300ER aircraft on 26 September 2014. In 2015 the airline acquired a further batch of 15 Airbus A330 aircraft for delivery in 2017 and 2018. In April 2016, China Eastern Airlines ordered 20 A350-900 and 15 B787-9. 

This contract offers a Shanghai base, with business class commuting tickets, as well as many other financial and non-financial additions, such as staff travel benefits.
