A CHINESE GIANT SPREADS ITS WINGS
Some call it “The HNA Miracle”. Hainan Provincial
Airlines Company began as a small regional carrier in
May 1993 and has since transformed itself into the
HNA Group. It is one of the fastest-growing, most
diverse enterprises in China today, with global
interests in aviation, hotels, logistics, finance, property
and retail as well as tourism. By 2012, the Group’s
annual turnover was over RMB120 billion (US$17.5
billion) with 100,000 employees world-wide. Mr. Chen
Feng, chairman of HNA Group, was tasked with setting
up the original airline and has been instrumental in
overseeing the Group’s development ever since.
Can you outline the key drivers behind the corporate
culture of HNA Group and how these translate to the
business operations?
We are seeing the arrival of “the China era”. HNA
became a world-class enterprise by upholding the
essence of traditional Chinese culture, as well as
grasping the most advanced Western science and
technology. In the 20 years since its foundation, HNA
has integrated this corporate culture into its strategy
of development and implementation, creating a
modern enterprise system based on innovation and
the optimization of the social environment. With its
reorganization, HNA is looking beyond Hainan Island
to establishing a presence throughout China and into
global markets.
Can you please give me some idea on the growth
strategy of the group—diversification into new
business areas via mergers and acquisitions (M&As),
for example?
HNA is constantly improving its business model to
build on its core competitiveness and become a
world-class enterprise of excellence with three main
pillars: air travel, logistics and financial services. How
has the group grown from its origins to the current
global carrier? HNA has been working on establishing
a global presence for some time: overseas financing
has laid the cornerstone for it to achieve this goal.
From the outset, HNA has looked to acquire
shareholdings in foreign enterprises and access
international capital markets in order to develop the
company. HNA views Hong Kong as the bridgehead for
its international expansion. In 2006, HNA invested in
Hong Kong Airlines and Hong Kong Express Airways as
a first step toward expanding overseas business.
HNA acquired Mytechnic of Turkey in November 2010
and in 2011 bought Hong Thai Travel of Hong Kong,
and took an equity interest in Caissa Touristic. In 2012,
HNA established African World Airlines in Ghana and
acquired AigleAzur of France.
In the logistics sector, in September 2010 HNA
acquired Offshore Heavy Transport (OHT) of Norway,
the world’s second biggest semi-submersible company,
and Fairstar Heavy Transport of the Netherlands. In
2011 it acquired Turkey’s ACT Airlines.
In the financial services sector, HNA acquired the Allco
aircraft leasing business of Australia in 2010, and the
Norway-listed GTB. In 2011 it bought GE SEACO of the
U.S. The company has successfully laid
foundations for a world-class leasing group.
the
As Chairman of the HNA Group, can you outline your
managerial philosophy?
Since its foundation, HNA has set up its corporate
culture and management philosophy to uphold the
essence of traditional Chinese culture, as well as
grasping the most advanced Western science and
technology.
The core concepts of HNA’s culture include: benefiting
human happiness and world peace as the common
ideal; the belief that God blesses the good; that we
should take our own path and be master of our
destiny; that we have the common, public pursuit of
participation, achievement, recognition and sharing;
integrity, performance and innovation.

HNA revenue set to soar as company
reaches forthe sky
China's fourth-largest airline, HNA Group Co, expects
annual revenue to soar to more than $70 billion by
2020, its chairman said on Sunday.
In 2011, the group acquired GE SeaCo, the world's
fifth-largest container-leasing enterprise, for $1.05
billion, its largest overseas deal.
The group, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in
April, aims to flyinto the top 100 on the Fortune
Global 500 list, said Chen Feng, chairman of the group.
It also purchased a 48 percent stake last year in Aigle
Azur, the second-largest airline in France.
"Acquisitions boost our internationalization strategy,"
Chen said.
The annual revenue of the 100th-biggest company
was $76 billion,according to Fortune magazine's list in
2012.
"Our long-term target is to make the top 50 on the list
by 2030," Chen added.
HNA Group earned 120 billion yuan ($19.46 billion) in
revenue in2012, up 44 percent year-on-year, and its
total assets reached 500billion yuan in 2012.
"The global financial crisis has presented
opportunities," Chen said.
According to media reports, HNA was interested in
purchasing a 35 percent stake in Cargolux Airlines
International SA, one of Europe's largest all-cargo
airlines, in 2012.
But HNA denied any plans for that acquisition.
The group's overseas assets continue growing, despite
the bleak global outlook.
An unnamed official from the group said the
companies may have been in exploratory contact.
Overseas assets accounted for more than 21 percent
of the group's total, contributed 10percent to the
group's annual revenue in 2012 and will soon account
for about 40 percent ofthe group's revenue, said Tan
Xiangdong, a director of HNA Group.
"Many foreign companies approach us for a deal, but
we choose what companies we will buy," Chen said.
Acquisitions over the last two years have boosted
assets.
The target companies must be able to help improve
HNA's competitiveness and expand its market share,
he said.
In addition, the companies must be able to be
integrated into HNA, not just in business terms but
also in culture, he said.
Aigle Azur is a good example, as it helped HNA acquire
a new Paris-Beijing route operated by the French
airline.
"We expect to launch the Paris-Beijing route this year,
as we are only waiting for approval to fly in Russian
airspace," said Wang Yingming, president of Hainan
Airlines Co Ltd, the aviationsubsidiary of HNA Group.
The company also said the return of the Boeing 787
Dreamliner aircraft will help expand its global
network.
The Dreamliner was back in the air on Sunday after a
three-month grounding for battery problems.
"The aircraft will fly in China in two months," said
Chen Wenli, a director of HNA Group.
The company ordered 10 Boeing 787 aircraft which
new aircraft will work on its Beijing-Chicago route, due
to be launched in September.
"The Seattle and Toronto routes also may use the
Dreamliner," Chen Wenli said.
