Air China
China's flag carrier and the airline of Beijing. Air China is the only Chinese airline in a global alliance (Star Alliance) and the carrier that heads of state fly on. The red phoenix tail logo is unmistakable. Service is formal, network is vast.
Look twice at Air China's red phoenix: artist Han Meilin drew it so the bird also forms the letters VIP. The Chinese characters of the airline's name next to it are in Deng Xiaoping's own calligraphy.
