When you're traveling, you'll definitely encounter an airline company. In Chinese, an airline company is 航空公司 (háng kōng gōng sī). It's formed from 航空 (háng kōng), meaning 'aviation' or 'airline', and 公司 (gōng sī), which means 'company'. So, literally, it's an 'aviation company'. You'll use this word when talking about booking flights or discussing different carriers.
When you're talking about flying, you'll definitely need to know the word for "airline company." In Chinese, that's 航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī).
It's made up of three parts: 航空 (hángkōng) which means "aviation" or "flying," and 公司 (gōngsī) which means "company." So, literally, it's a "flying company."
You can use it just like you would in English. For example, you might say "Which airline company are you flying with?" or "This airline company has good service."
When talking about booking flights, you’ll definitely encounter the word 航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī), which means 'airline company'. It’s an A2 word, so it's quite common.
For example, if you want to ask 'Which airline company did you fly with?' you could say '你乘坐的是哪家航空公司？' (Nǐ chéngzuò de shì nǎ jiā hángkōnggōngsī?).
You might also use it when discussing different airlines, like '这家航空公司服务很好' (Zhè jiā hángkōnggōngsī fúwù hěn hǎo) meaning 'This airline company's service is very good'.
So, remember 航空公司 when you're making your travel plans!
When discussing travel arrangements or international business, you'll frequently encounter the term 航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī). This noun directly translates to "airline company" or simply "airline." It refers to any enterprise that provides scheduled air transport services for passengers or cargo.
For example, if you're booking a flight, you might say, "我想问一下哪家航空公司有直飞上海的航班？" (Wǒ xiǎng wèn yīxià nǎ jiā hángkōng gōngsī yǒu zhífēi Shànghǎi de hángbān? - I'd like to ask which airline company has direct flights to Shanghai?).
You can also use it to refer to a specific airline by name, such as "中国国际航空公司" (Zhōngguó Guójì Hángkōng Gōngsī), which is Air China.
When discussing travel arrangements or the aviation industry in Chinese, understanding 航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī) is essential. This term directly translates to "airline company" and is used to refer to any business that provides air transport services for passengers or cargo. It's a straightforward noun that you'll encounter frequently in contexts related to booking flights, airport information, or news about air travel.
For example, if you're talking about which airline you prefer to fly with, you would use 航空公司. Similarly, if you're reading about a new route being launched, it would typically be associated with a specific 航空公司. It's a foundational term for anyone interested in navigating air travel in the Chinese-speaking world or discussing the industry.
§ What does 航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī) mean?
Alright, let's get straight to it. Today we're talking about 航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī). This simply means 'airline company' or 'airline'. It's a fundamental word if you ever plan on flying in or out of a Chinese-speaking region, or even just discussing air travel.
- DEFINITION
- airline company; airline
Think of any major airline you know – Delta, United, Air China, Cathay Pacific. These are all 航空公司. It's used just like you'd use 'airline' in English. When you're talking about booking a flight, working for an airline, or even complaining about one, this is the word you'll use.
§ When do people use 航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī)?
You'll hear and use 航空公司 in a variety of contexts related to air travel. Here are some common situations:
- Booking Flights: When you're trying to find which airline to fly with, or discussing flight options.
- Working in Aviation: If someone works for an airline, they'll say they work for a 航空公司.
- Complaining/Praising: Just like anywhere else, people talk about their experiences with different airlines.
- General Travel Discussions: Whenever the topic of air travel comes up, especially regarding specific carriers.
我想订一张去北京的机票，你推荐哪家航空公司？
This means: I want to book a ticket to Beijing, which airline company do you recommend? (wǒ xiǎng dìng yī zhāng qù běijīng de jīpiào, nǐ tuījiàn nǎ jiā hángkōnggōngsī?)
他在这家航空公司工作了十年。
This means: He has worked for this airline company for ten years. (tā zài zhè jiā hángkōnggōngsī gōngzuò le shí nián.)
It's pretty straightforward, right? Just replace 'airline' with 航空公司 and you're usually good to go. Don't overthink it. The key is to recognize it and use it when discussing anything related to the companies that operate airplanes.
The term itself is a compound. 航空 (hángkōng) means 'aviation' or 'aerial navigation', and 公司 (gōngsī) means 'company'. Put them together and you get 'aviation company' which translates directly to 'airline company'. Knowing the components can sometimes help you remember the full word and even guess the meaning of other related terms.
这家航空公司的服务很好。
This means: This airline company's service is very good. (zhè jiā hángkōnggōngsī de fúwù hěn hǎo.)
我需要联系航空公司确认我的航班。
This means: I need to contact the airline company to confirm my flight. (wǒ xūyào liánxì hángkōnggōngsī quèrèn wǒ de hángbān.)
So, whether you're planning your next trip or just chatting about travel, 航空公司 is a solid and useful word to have in your Chinese vocabulary. Practice saying it, and try to use it in context. It's a common A2 word, meaning it's something you should aim to master early on.
§ Where You'll Hear 航空公司
You're learning "航空公司," which means "airline company." This isn't a word you'll use every day unless you work in the travel industry, but it's super important when you're talking about flights, booking tickets, or anything related to air travel. Let's look at where it pops up in real life.
§ At the Airport or While Traveling
This is the most obvious place. When you're at the airport, dealing with tickets, or talking about your flight, you'll definitely hear or use 航空公司.
请问，国航是哪家航空公司？
- Translation Hint
- Excuse me, which airline company is Air China?
Here, someone is asking about a specific airline. You can swap out 国航 (Guóháng - Air China) for any other airline name.
我需要联系航空公司改签机票。
- Translation Hint
- I need to contact the airline company to change my flight ticket.
This is a practical sentence if you ever need to reschedule your flight. "改签 (gǎiqiān)" means to change or rebook a ticket.
§ In News or Business Discussions
"航空公司" is also commonly used in news reports, business articles, or discussions about the aviation industry.
全球各大航空公司都在努力恢复国际航线。
- Translation Hint
- Major global airline companies are all working hard to restore international routes.
This sentence shows how it's used when talking about the industry as a whole. You might see this in an economic report or a travel industry update.
这家航空公司推出了新的优惠活动。
- Translation Hint
- This airline company launched a new promotional event.
You'd see a sentence like this in an advertisement or a news article about a company's marketing efforts.
§ In Everyday Conversations (Planning Travel)
When you're discussing travel plans with friends or family, this word comes in handy.
你通常选择哪家航空公司？
- Translation Hint
- Which airline company do you usually choose?
This is a common question when talking about travel preferences. Everyone has their favorite or least favorite airline!
我订了中国东方航空公司的机票。
- Translation Hint
- I booked a ticket with China Eastern Airline Company.
Here, the speaker specifies which airline they chose for their trip. Remember, you'll often just hear the airline name, but adding 航空公司 makes it clear you're talking about the company itself.
§ Don't confuse it with 'airplane'
Many beginners, and even some intermediate learners, mistakenly use 航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī) when they actually mean 'airplane' or 'flight'. Remember, 航空公司 refers to the company itself, like 'Delta Airlines' or 'Air China'.
我坐飞机去上海。
This means: I took an airplane to Shanghai. Not 'I took an airline company to Shanghai'.
哪家航空公司有直飞航班？
This means: Which airline company has direct flights? Here, 航空公司 is correctly used to refer to the business entity.
§ Using it as a verb
航空公司 (hángkōnggōngsī) is a noun. It names a thing (a company). You cannot use it as a verb, like 'to airline'. This might seem obvious, but sometimes learners try to force English grammatical structures onto Chinese words.
Incorrect:
我航空公司去北京。
This sentence doesn't make sense. You can't 'airline' somewhere.
Correct ways to express travel by air:
我坐飞机去北京。 (Wǒ zuò fēijī qù Běijīng.) - I take a plane to Beijing.
我乘飞机去北京。 (Wǒ chéng fēijī qù Běijīng.) - I travel by plane to Beijing.
§ Redundancy with 'company' words
The '公司' (gōngsī) part of 航空公司 already means 'company'. So, don't add another word for 'company' after it. This is a common mistake when translating directly from English phrases like 'airline company company'.
- DEFINITION
- 公司 (gōngsī): company
Incorrect:
这家航空公司公司很大。
This translates awkwardly to 'This airline company company is big'.
Correct:
这家航空公司很大。
This means: This airline company is very big.
Alright, let's talk about 航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī). This one's pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of related terms that might trip you up if you're not careful. We'll break it down.
- Chinese Word
- 航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī)
- Definition
- airline company
- CEFR Level
- A2
§ What is 航空公司?
航空公司 literally translates to 'aviation company'. It's the most common and direct way to say 'airline company' in Chinese. You'll use this when you're talking about the company itself – the entity that owns the planes, employs the staff, and sells tickets.
哪家航空公司的机票比较便宜？
Which airline company's tickets are cheaper?
我工作的航空公司有飞往世界各地的航班。
The airline company I work for has flights to all over the world.
§ Similar Words and When to Use Them
Here’s where it gets interesting. While 航空公司 is your go-to, you might encounter other terms. Let's look at a few.
-
航空公司 (hángkōng gōngsī): This is the general term for 'airline company'. Use it when you're referring to the business entity itself. It's safe, clear, and always correct in this context.
中国国际航空公司是中国的国有航空公司。
Air China is a state-owned airline company in China.
-
航司 (hángsī): This is a shortened, more informal version of 航空公司. It's similar to how we might say 'the airline' instead of 'the airline company' in English. You'll hear this in casual conversation or sometimes in flight announcements. It's not wrong, but perhaps less formal than the full term.
这个航司的服务很好。
This airline's service is very good.
-
航空公司客服 (hángkōng gōngsī kèfú): This specifically means 'airline customer service'. If you need to contact them, this is the phrase you're looking for.
请联系航空公司客服处理您的改签。
Please contact airline customer service to handle your rebooking.
-
航空 (hángkōng): This just means 'aviation' or 'air travel' in general. It's a broader term and doesn't specifically refer to a company. For example, 航空工业 (hángkōng gōngyè) is 'aviation industry'.
他从小就对航空很感兴趣。
He has been very interested in aviation since he was a child.
§ Key Takeaway
For 'airline company', 航空公司 is your best bet. It's precise and universally understood. You'll hear 航司 in casual contexts, but it's good to know the full form. Don't confuse it with the general term 航空.
Keep practicing these distinctions, and you'll be talking about your travel plans like a pro in no time.
How Formal Is It?
"請出示您的登機牌給航空公司工作人員。"
"我預訂了中國國際航空公司的航班。"
"哪家航空公司最便宜？"

航空公司: Breaking It Down

航空公司: Measure Word
The common measure word for 航空公司 is 家 (jiā), which is used for companies and establishments. So you'd say '一家航空公司' (yī jiā hángkōnggōngsī) for 'one airline company'.

Some of the biggest Chinese airline companies include Air China (中国国际航空公司), China Southern Airlines (中国南方航空公司), and China Eastern Airlines (中国东方航空公司).
