China Northern Airlines (simplified Chinese: 中国北方航空; traditional Chinese: 中國北方航空; pinyin: Zhōngguó Běifāng Hángkōng) was an airline headquartered on the grounds of Dongta Airport, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China.
Besides Shenyang, it also had three hubs at Harbin, Changchun and Sanya.
It was one of six major airline corporations that were formed as a result of the breakup of CAAC's airline operations. It initially operated a fleet of Airbus A300, McDonnell-Douglas MD-80, MD-90 and, later, Airbus A321 aircraft. It operated predominantly domestic destinations and also to North Korea, South Korea and Japan.
China Northern Airlines was established in 1990 to act as a successor to Swan Airlines. It later merged into China Southern Airlines in 2003.
