Greater Bay Airlines gears up for launch

Hong Kong-based start-up Greater Bay Airlines is slowly but surely gearing up for launch with having secured their first three B737-800s. The first one, currently registered D-AAGB (42277), has already been painted at Guangzhou.

The airline hopes to receive its AOC on 17 September, and launch with a special charter flight between Hong Kong and Beijing, on 1 October. Greater Bay Airlines, which was launched in 2019, is owned by a Shenzhen-based billionaire, which also owns Donghai Airlines. In total the airline applied to fly to 104 destinations across China and Asia from Hong Kong.
