The joint venture will have 500 mln yuan in registered capital, with Shenzhen Airlines holding a controlling 51 pct stake while Mesa Air's units Ping Shan SRL and Shan Yue SRL will hold the remainder, the CAAC said.

The industry regulator said in a statement that it is inviting comments from the public on the proposal.

Kunpeng Airlines will operate regional passenger and cargo business in mainland China, with three CRJ200 aircraft in the initial stage, according to the CAAC.

Shenzhen Airlines currently also has a cargo joint venture -- Jade Cargo International -- with Lufthansa AG.

• China sees single-digit traffic growth as Asia’s airlines brace for tough 2012
  29-Dec-2011

  China’s air transport industry has entered a stage of slower growth, registering single-digit total air traffic (RTKs, including passenger and cargo traffic) of growth in 2011 according to CAAC. China’s aviation industry experienced double-digit traffic growth from 2004 through 2010, according to CAAC, with 2010 clearly a banner year of recovery for China, after the downturn in 2008/09. 2011's volumes have been well below expectation, particularly since the middle of the year.

  In the wider Asia Pacific region, the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) has noted that Asian carriers are bracing themselves for another tough year in 2012 as the outlook is impacted by the “unresolved concerns about the Eurozone debt crisis and wider uncertainty about the global economic outlook for 2012”. However, the association noted the region’s airlines are faring better than airlines in other regions and that they are still “relatively well placed” to benefit from future growth opportunities.

• Star poised to boost presence in North Asian market with addition of EVA
  15-Dec-2011

  Star Alliance is planning a key step forward in boosting its presence in the fast-growing North Asian aviation market by adding EVA Airways, Taiwan's second largest carrier. EVA will be mentored by Air China, which currently is the only Star member in greater China although Shenzhen Airlines is also now in the process of joining the alliance.

  EVA's expected entry into Star follows the entry earlier this year of rival Taiwanese carrier China Airlines into SkyTeam, the largest alliance grouping in greater China and North Asia. Star is now striving to close the gap in North Asia between it and SkyTeam by adding multiple new members in greater China.

  EVA executives early this year stated the carrier had submitted an application to join Star. EVA’s executive team, led by chairmen James Jeng, attended this week’s Star chief executive board meeting in Addis Ababa to further promote its application. Star’s existing members are understood to be in favour of EVA’s application and a formal announcement will be made in Taipei in the coming months. As the process of joining Star takes 18 to 24 months, EVA could formally join Star as early as 2013.
