1984 after the reform and opening up, the country expanded Haikou airport again, and the runway was lengthened to 2600 meters and widened to 60 meters. From 65438 to 0988, Hainan established a special economic zone, and more than 10,000 talents poured in, which ushered in the first real estate climax in Hainan. Because most people need to fly in and out of Hainan, the passenger flow of Dayingshan Airport has rapidly risen to the top ten in the country. 1993, Hainan Airlines was established at Dayingshan Airport. 1May, 1999, with the completion and navigation of meilan airport, Dayingshan Airport in the urban area ended its historical mission.
The first flight of HNA (B-2578, 737-300) 1999 took off from Airliners.net.
The runway of Dayingshan Airport has now become the "Guoxing Avenue" in Haikou, and the land where the airport is located has also developed into a "CBD business district" including the municipal government and the headquarters of HNA Group. At that time, 3,000 mu of land owned by the whole airport became HNA's first windfall. After 25 years of development, with China's reform and opening up, HNA has developed from a small airline with four planes to a trillion-dollar HNA Group, directly owning 1 1 listed companies (I can't count them indirectly! ), involving aviation, hotels, real estate, finance, tourism, retail, finance, logistics and information technology and other fields, ranked among the world's top 500 enterprises in 20 17 years 170! Some people say that without Hainan Airlines, there would be no aviation industry in Hainan. Some people also say that without HNA Group, there is no Hainan Island at all!
The second civil airport in Hainan is the famous Sanya Phoenix Airport. In June, 1994, Phoenix Airport was opened to traffic. In May 2002, due to the excellent operation of Hainan Airlines in meilan airport, Haikou, Hainan SASAC entrusted the management of Phoenix Airport to HNA Group. Of course, HNA Group has not failed to live up to the great trust. In the past 16, both Phoenix Airport and meilan airport were brought into the "Top 20" in China; In 20 17, the throughput of Phoenix Airport was close to 20 million passengers, almost catching up with the busiest single runway airport in the United States-San Diego Airport. If the number of flights is not limited by a single runway, I am afraid this ranking will directly enter the top ten in the country.
The picture of busy Sanya Phoenix Airport comes from the Internet.
The development of HNA Group in the past 25 years is admirable and surprising. Hainan province has a population of more than 9 million, and its GDP in 20 17 is 446.2 billion yuan. However, according to the statistics of an encyclopedia, HNA Group currently has an annual turnover of nearly 700 billion and nearly 430,000 employees. In other words, HNA Group has already surpassed Hainan Province!
As its foundation, the aviation industry has actually been the largest hidden airline in China many years ago. HNA Group, like a martial arts expert, has long been an invisible fog for our generation. I have neither the will nor the ability to study the intricate panorama of the HNA Empire. Therefore, in this article, we briefly understand the excellent business philosophy of HNA Group in the aviation industry.
HNA Group's companies directly engaged in the aviation industry are mainly "HNA Holdings Limited" and "HNA Airport Group". Hainan Island is small and remote, with few business travelers and dense air bases. Controlling the airport can not only effectively curb the intervention of other airlines, but also gain greater derivative profits, and also have a negotiating advantage in air rights. Therefore, HNA has attached great importance to the control of the airport since its establishment. In contrast, China Southern Airlines, as a state-owned enterprise, has no feeling about it, although it is the old landlord of Haikou Airport. Therefore, in August, 2000, Hainan Airlines, which made a lot of money through listing, won the right to operate meilan airport in the reorganization, becoming the first airport holding airline in China, which started the prelude of "monopolizing Hainan", "laying out the whole country" and "rushing to the beach world".
In 2003, after Hainan Airlines took over Sanya Phoenix Airport, it set up an airport management company to separate the operation of the airport from that of airlines and manage the airport more professionally.
In 2004, HNA Airport Management Company changed its name to HNA Airport Group and reorganized Phoenix Airport that year. The management of the reorganized Phoenix Airport pays attention to "efficiency" and "service", which has been affirmed by leaders such as Chen Guangyi, Yang Yuanyuan and Meng Jianzhu. In this situation, HNA Airport Group began to develop outward, and successively won the operation rights of Yichang Three Gorges Airport, Manzhouli Xijiao Airport, Weifang Nanyuan Airport, Dongying Yongan Airport and anqing tianzhushan airport, and once became the second largest airport group company in China after Capital Airport Group.
Not all airport businesses can make money, and there are few routes in small airports, mainly relying on government subsidies. In 20 15, Gansu recovered the operation rights of Lanzhou, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang and Qingyang airports, and the number of members of HNA Airport Group was reduced to 10. The current members of HNA Airport Group include Tangshan Sannvhe Airport, Huizhou Airport and Yingkou Airport, as well as Meilan and Fenghuang Airport.
HNA Group's business in the airport can also be traced back to the construction of the airport and the development of real estate. Boao Airport, the "third" airport in Hainan Province, was built by HNA Group. This airport specially built to serve Boao Forum is quite mysterious. Not only business jets and charter flights, but even military aircraft are stationed. Now, this mysterious airport has been unveiled, and civil aviation access has been started one after another, which has become an effective supplement to Phoenix Airport and meilan airport.
