The airline is based at Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) and offers flights to destinations within China, as well as to destinations in Europe and parts of Australia and South America.

The airline launched in 1995 as a scheduled and charter airline, initially offering domestic flights within China under the name Deer Jet Airlines.
