China Southwest Airlines Boeing 757-200

China Southwest Airlines (simplified Chinese: 中国西南航空公司; traditional Chinese: 中國西南航空公司; pinyin: Zhōngguó Xīnán Hángkōng Gōngsī) was an airline based in the People's Republic of China. It was merged into Air China in 2002.

China Southwest Airlines was headquartered at Chengdu, Sichuan Province and also maintained a hub at Chongqing. The airline was the sole carrier flying to Lhasa until 2002. Although it mainly served domestic routes from its hub Chengdu and Chongqing, it also had limited international flights to Bangkok, Chiangmai, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Osaka and Seoul. China Southwest Airlines operated a fleet of Boeing 737-300, Boeing 737-600, Boeing 737-800, Boeing 757-200 and Airbus A340-300 aircraft.

On 28 October 2002, China Southwest Airlines was merged into Air China.
