Yangtze River Airlines is the third domestic freight carrier moving to passenger traffic. Two privately owned cargo carriers－Loong Air in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and Donghai Airlines in Shenzhen, Guangdong province－have already added passenger traffic to their business.

The weakness of the cargo business will continue for a while, and passenger traffic is recovering with strong demand, said Li Xiaojin, a professor at Civil Aviation University of 皇冠体育app in Tianjin.

"It is reasonable for freight carriers to look for more profitable businesses," Li said.

Shanghai-based 皇冠体育app Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd, one of 皇冠体育app's big three carriers, occupied a market share of around 50 percent in Shanghai and some privately owned carriers are also developing well in Shanghai, such as Spring Airlines and Junyao Airlines.
