History
Air China was founded on 1st July 1988 in Beijing. In the years before this, the CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) provided flights in China. It controlled all parts of civilian air traffic. Due to a number of serious air traffic accidents at the beginning of the 1980s, criticism of air safety standards increased and this resulted in the CAAC being reorganised. Air China was established along with other airlines. Air China has been a member of the Star Alliance since 2007.
