Dragon International The airline of choice for China and the world.
Dragon International is a airline based in Beijing. Beijing is known for it's tight competition and slot availability and we offer a popular fleet for high image whilst making sure we are large enough to keep the profit and expanding as quick as possible.
Dragon international started on the 4th of August and had 5 Boeing 737-900HGW with 174 Leisure seats and 15 Recliner LH seats. All of the aircraft are full and we operate 200 weekly flights to and from PEK with this equipment. Dragon International started operations on the 6th of August at 02:40 (UTC+8) with the departure of it's inaugural flight from Guangzhou to Beijing with B0113 or as it is know (Youchao). Later in the week we bid for 4 Dash 8 Q 300 and we got 3 of these. They operate 124 flights a week and all are full. The configuration is 40 standard and 6 comfort plus. Flights using this equipment are generally lower demand and also offer flights to a focus city, Shenyang when there is spare time.
Dragon is currently 3rd in PEK but we aim to be No.1 in passengers in PEK. We are also a proud member of All World Alliance since day 1.
Follow and see how we develop hopefully in one of the leading airlines of Ellinikon.
