Founded in 1984, it is a member of SkyTeam and part of 南航集团.

This page gathers the essentials for flying with XiamenAir: official website, fares, online check-in, baggage rules and customer service contacts.

Since its founding in 1984, XiamenAir has grown into a significant force in the Mainland China market with the backing of 南航集团. As a SkyTeam member, its frequent flyers earn and burn miles across the global alliance network.

The network is strongest across Southeast Asia and long-haul via its twin Fujian hubs. Departing from Xiamen Gaoqi & Fuzhou Changle gets you the best frequencies, timings and irregular-ops backup; from non-base cities expect more one-stops, so watch total journey time when booking.

Booking tips: fares float with live inventory — 2–6 weeks out (2–4 months long-haul) is usually the trough, and member pricing can undercut platforms. Add your Egret Club number at booking; retro-crediting needs boarding passes. Paid upgrade windows open around check-in at prices well below purchase-time premiums, and pre-bought extra baggage saves 30%+ versus airport rates.
