U-FLY Alliance

[1] All four founding airlines except HK Express are affiliated with the HNA Group, with a focus on Hong Kong, mainland China, and Southeast Asia, but they were currently seeking new members which are not affiliated with HNA Group.

[2] Eastar Jet, a South Korean low-cost carrier, joined the alliance on 27 July 2016.

The main founder HK Express withdrew from U-FLY Alliance after becoming a wholly owned low-cost subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, a Oneworld member, and the alliance became inactive (the official website is invalid).

The founding members were all part of HNA Group, a Chinese conglomerate, until HK Express was acquired by Cathay Pacific in 2019.

[3] In 2017, U-FLY Alliance partner’s capacity included over 44 million seats, touching 18 countries, 149 airports and 339 city pairs.
