Hainan Airlines was founded in 1993 as China's first private airline following economic reforms in the aviation sector. The airline began operations with a small fleet serving regional routes from Hainan province, gradually expanding its network and capabilities.

Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Hainan Airlines grew rapidly, modernizing its fleet and expanding beyond regional routes to become a major international carrier. The airline developed a reputation for high-quality service, competing effectively with China's state-owned airlines.

In the 2000s and 2010s, Hainan Airlines established itself as China's largest private airline, expanding its international network and joining international airline partnerships. The airline invested heavily in new aircraft and developed multiple subsidiary carriers for different market segments.

Throughout the 2010s, Hainan Airlines continued its global expansion, becoming one of the few Chinese carriers to achieve Skytrax five-star rating for service quality and establishing routes to North America, Europe, and other international markets.
