'''East Pacific Airlines''' is a [[cargo airline]] based in [[Shenzhen]], [[Guangdong]], [[People's Republic of China]]. |
|||
== History == |
|||
The airline was established in November [[2002]] as [[Jetwin Cargo Airline]] and intended to start operations from Shenzhen in [[2005]] using [[Boeing 737]] aircraft. It is owned by Orient Holdings Group (65%) and (Hong Kong company) East Pacific Holdings (35%). <ref>[[Flight International]] 5-11 April 2005</ref> |

Jetwin Air Cargo changed its name to East Pacific Airlines in keeping with the name of one of its major owners, the East Pacific Group. The airline would only operate domestically to begin with and is still applying for its Chinese air operator’s certificate. It plans to launch domestic passenger services in [[2007]] and is currently evaluating aircraft types for the passenger operation. <ref name="F">[http://www.flightglobal.com/Articles/2006/03/21/Navigation/177/205519/Two+China+carriers+to+launch+with+737-300Fs.html Flight] 21 March 2006</ref> |
