9 Air (AQ/JYH) — low-cost carrier from China, based at Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN), not an alliance member.About 9 Air
9 Air is a Guangzhou-based low-cost carrier founded in 2014 as the budget arm of the Juneyao group. It flies an all-Boeing 737 fleet in a single-class layout and competes on the dense southern Chinese routes where price decides the booking.
The name is a play on the Chinese word for nine, which the group uses across its brands. Service is stripped back by design — this is a point-to-point airline with no pretence of connecting traffic.
9 Air flights from Beijing Daxing
One route from Daxing: Guangzhou, the airline's home base. Beijing–Guangzhou is one of the busiest city pairs in the country and is served by every major carrier, so 9 Air's role here is the low-fare option rather than the frequent one.
9 Air serves one destination from PKX: Guangzhou.
Route lists change with the summer and winter schedules, and frequencies change more often than that. For the flights operating today, check the live arrivals and departures boards.
Planning your trip
At Beijing Daxing, 9 Air checks in at Departures level 4. Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure on domestic flights and 45 minutes before departure on international ones — Daxing is a large building, and the walk from check-in to a far gate is a real part of your timing.
- Check the total price with baggage before comparing against a full-service ticket — the gap often closes.
- Guangzhou Baiyun is a large hub; if you are connecting there, allow more time than the minimum shown.
- Single daily frequencies mean no realistic same-day recovery if the flight goes wrong.
Getting to the airport takes planning of its own: the Daxing Airport Express and the intercity railway are the fastest options from central Beijing, with taxis and private transfers as the door-to-door alternatives. The airport guide covers terminal layout, security and what is open landside.
