China Northwest AirlinesCNW/ WH

China Northwest Airlines was a major Chinese carrier headquartered in Xi'an that operated from 1987 until its merger into China Eastern Airlines in 2002. The airline primarily served domestic routes within China, with a focus on western and central regions, and operated a significant network connecting Xi'an, its main hub, to cities across the country. As a state-owned enterprise, China Northwest Airlines offered standard cabin classes on its services and served millions of passengers during its operational period. The airline was known for its role in developing air connectivity in China's interior regions during the country's aviation expansion in the 1990s. Its integration into China Eastern Airlines consolidated one of China's major airline groups and represented part of the broader industry consolidation that reshaped Chinese civil aviation in the early 2000s.
