[edit] History
Jade Cargo International was established in October 2004 and is co-owned by Shenzhen Airlines, which has a 51% stake, Lufthansa Cargo with 25% and DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, a subsidiary of German state-owned bank KfW – with 24%. It started operations in 2006.[3] It was the first cargo airline in China with foreign ownership and had 350 employees (as of March 2009).[4]. In December 2011, the airline grounded its fleet because of a combination of lack of demand and “extended discussions” with Jade Cargo’s other owners, with the service suspension expected to last for several weeks until new funding may be found.[3]
