Historia

Lucky Air is an airline based in the Xiángpéng Hángkōng Dàshà in Kunming, Yunnan, People's Republic of China. The airline operates scheduled flights to destinations within China, as well as to destinations in countries that are in other parts of East Asia, including Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and South Korea.
