Cities linked by the two routes are all in the Bohai Economic Rim, which includes Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Liaoning.

The main hub of Okay Airways is Tianjin Binhai International Airport.

The reopening came after the majority of the carrier's ownership changed hands earlier this month. Wang Shusheng, chairman of Tianjin Datian W. Group Co, became the new chairman of the airline.

The carrier plans to add another two 60-seat MA60 turboprops and three to four Boeing 737-800s to its fleet this year and expand the regional aircraft fleet to 10 planes within three years to serve domestic regional air transportation market.

Statics show that Okay Airways now has three Boeing 737-800 jetliners, an MA60 turboprop, three Boeing 737 freighters and two Y-8 freighters.
