E hoʻolilo ʻo Air China Ltd. i ka HK $ 6.3 biliona ($ 813 miliona) e hoʻonui ai i kāna kuleana ma Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. i ka 29.99 pākēneka, e hoʻonui nei i kona kū ma Hong Kong ma hope o ka pani ʻia ʻana mai Shanghai.

E lawe ʻo Air China i ʻelua mau noho alakaʻi Cathay i kēia manawa e Citic, e like me ka ʻōlelo. Hoʻolālā nā mea lawe ʻelua e hoʻoikaika i ka hui ʻana i ke kūʻai aku, hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe, wahi a Pratt.
ʻO ka waiwai nui o Air China ma Cathay "e hoʻoikaika maoli i ka pilina," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Damien Horth, kahi loiloi ma UBS AG ma Hong Kong. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua "kahaha" ʻo ia i ke kālepa.
ʻO ka loiloi Citic
ʻO ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā ʻāpana ʻo Cathay e ʻae iā Citic Pacific e nānā pono i kāna mau hana nui, wahi a Kong Dan, ka luna o ka makua Citic Group, i ʻōlelo ʻia ma Hong Kong i kēia lā.

Ke manaʻo nei ka hui e paʻa i kāna ʻāpana 3 pakeneka, wahi a Swire's Pratt.
Ua hāʻule ʻo Cathay i ka 1.9 pakeneka ma ʻAukake 14 i HK $ 11.62 ma Hong Kong. Ua loaʻa iā ia he 33 pakeneka i kēia makahiki. ʻO Air China, ka mea lawe moku nui loa o ka ʻāina, ua pani liʻiliʻi i ka HK$4.57 ma ke kūlanakauhale. Ua piʻi i 90 pakeneka i kēia makahiki.

ʻAuwaʻa ʻo Cathay
Hoʻohana ka mokulele i nā mokulele 123, e lele ana i 36 mau ʻāina a mau ʻāina paha, e like me kāna pūnaewele. ʻO kāna hui ʻo Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Ltd. e lawelawe ana i 29 mau wahi, ma ka ʻāina nui. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ʻAmelika Roy C. Farrell lāua ʻo Australian Sydney H. de Kantzow iā Cathay i ka makahiki 1946. Ua loaʻa i kahi mua o ka Swire Group he 45 pākēneka i ka 1948.
Ua loaʻa iā Air China nā mokulele 243 i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala, me kāna ʻāpana ukana, a me kahi pūnaewele e uhi ana i nā kūlanakauhale 129 a me nā ala he 259, i ʻōlelo ʻia i kāna hōʻike makahiki. Aia nā alahele he 82 mau lawelawe honua a kūloko a me 177 mau lawelawe kūloko.
Ua ʻōlelo ka mea lawe i ka mahina i hala ua manaʻo ʻo ia e hōʻike i kahi hoʻonui 50 pakeneka-me ka loaʻa kālā o ka hapa mua. Ua piʻi ka helu o nā mea kaʻa he 14 pakeneka, ʻoiai ʻo ka hoʻoulu ʻana o Kina i hoʻoulu i ka huakaʻi home. Ua piʻi ka helu o nā poʻe holo kaʻa ma 20 pakeneka i 100.4 miliona, e like me ka Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Ua hāʻawi ka makua o Air China i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka makahiki i hala e kūʻai i kahi ʻāpana ma China Eastern i mea e hoʻonui ai i kona paepae ma Shanghai. Ua hōʻole ʻo China Eastern i ka hāʻawi ʻana a ua ʻae ʻo ia e lawe ma luna o ka hui liʻiliʻi ʻo Shanghai Airlines no ka loaʻa ʻana o 50 pakeneka o ka mākeke ma ke kapena kālā o Kina.
