Yunnan Ying'an Airlines, branded as Ying'an Airlines, is a Chinese regional airline based at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport in Guizhou. It operates flights throughout Yunnan Province as well as in Guizhou Province using a single Xian MA60 aircraft.
The airline suspended operations on 1 December 2015, and it is unknown when service will resume. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) cancelled Ying'an Airlines' air operator's certificate as it was not meeting the certificate's requirements.
Ying'an Airlines was founded in 2005 as Yunnan Ying'an General Aviation Co Ltd, a general aviation company. It received its air operator's certificate from the CAAC on 19 January 2005.
In 2008 the airline placed orders for Xian MA60 aircraft, supplementing its fleet of Harbin Y-12s.
On 7 December 2010, Ying'an Airlines was granted preliminary approval from the CAAC to operate regional passenger and cargo flights. The airline conducted a trial charter flight between Pu'er City and Kunming on 17 February 2011.
Ying'an Airlines commenced passenger operations on 23 April 2014, flying from Libo to Chongqing via Guiyang with its MA60 aircraft.
On 18 December 2014, Ying'an Airlines signed a cooperation agreement with Joy Air, with the intent of increasing the former's registered capital to CNY 1 billion (USD 161 million) and expanding its fleet to 30 aircraft. Ultimately, the agreement hopes to transform Ying'an Airlines into a major regional airline in Southeast China.
