China United Airlines (CUA) is a Chinese low-cost carrier operating under IATA code HR and ICAO code CUA. Founded as a military airline, it has transitioned into a civilian budget carrier serving domestic routes across China, with its primary base at Beijing Nanyuan Airport. The airline is a subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines Group, one of China's three major state-owned airline groups. This affiliation has provided CUA with operational support and resources to expand its low-cost model within the competitive Chinese aviation market. Following the closure of Beijing Nanyuan Airport in 2019, China United Airlines relocated its hub operations to Beijing Daxing International Airport, continuing to focus on affordable domestic travel for Chinese passengers.
