Beijing Capital Airlines (previously known as 'Deer Air') Pilot's View |

"I joined Rishworth Aviation (RAL) with Deer Air in December 2008. Deer Air is a high growth carrier within the larger Hainan Airline Group. Hainan Airlines is the 4th largest airline in China. The Chinese pilots here are clearly some of the best in the world. Our First Officers are very professional, well trained and fly to perfection. Our schedules are efficient and do not include any nights away from base. This is truly a Captain's Airline. Both Deer Air and RAL have been outstanding to the foreign contract pilots here. RAL has a very effective Management Team in China to ensure unrivalled service to both the Pilots and the Airline."
Captain Billy Broyles, Deer Air Pilot (A320)
"I am currently a Captain on the Airbus 319 working for Deer Airlines living in Sanya, China. Before coming to China, I was apprehensive about what it would be like to live in another country and take up a foreign airline job. From the guidance of the Foreign Chief Pilot, to the welcome dinner from the Chairman of the airline, it is refreshing to be treated as a professional and with respect. Since arriving in China, I have found the people at Deer Airlines to be very friendly and helpful. When it came time to move to Sanya, Jim from RAL was a tremendous help on getting me set up in an apartment and making sure he was available to help me if I had any problems.
Flying the line has been easier than anticipated with the English speaking cockpit crews and ATC. The cabin crews are young and enthusiastic with good attitudes that are hard to find in the United States. The 6-week-on 2-week-off schedule is very flexible, so the ability to go back home or travel is at your leisure. Overall, working for Deer Air has been a very positive experience. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a new adventure."
Captain Christiane Friedl, Deer Air Pilot (A320)

In 2002, China's government merged the nine largest Chinese airlines into three regional groups based in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, respectively: Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines.
By 2005, these three had been joined by six other major airlines: Hainan Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, and Sichuan Airlines. Together, the airlines had a combined fleet of approximately 860 aircraft. The total number of planes of all mainland Chinese carriers combined will be near 1,580 by 2010, up from 863 in 2006. By 2025, the figure is estimated to be 4,000.
In 2007, China had 467 airports. Of China's major airports, Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), located 27 km northeast of central Beijing, has the greatest flow of passengers annually. Shanghai has the 3rd largest amount of air traffic in China through its two airports combined.
China is served both by numerous major international flights to most countries in the world and a host of domestic regional airlines. Air traffic within mainland China is often connected through Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou.
