The company was established in 1995 as Deer Jet Airlines. In 1998, it began offering international services under the Deer Air branding. In October 2007, it received its first Airbus A319 and began returning the formerly operated Boeing 737s. Deer Jet began providing charter services in December 2008 using a fleet of A319s
and corporate jets. The airline was authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to operate scheduled air services in 2009.
Deer Jet Airlines was divided into two companies on May 4, 2010. While the charter operation has kept the Deer
Jet branding, scheduled operations using Airbus aircraft were renamed Capital Airlines.
They offer the following fleet:
