While this full list is correct at time of publication, it is worth noting that on account of the many different codeshare agreements between airlines, a flight number might be that of a foreign airline, but the actual aircraft may well belong to a Chinese airline, or vice versa. As such, readers should note such flights are shown as “operated by”.
