Air China Flight Status
About Air China
Air China is an airline based in China, listed under the ICAO code CCA and the IATA code CA; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Air China". On this page you can follow Air China flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Air China flight number
Every Air China flight number starts with CA, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix CCA, and controllers address it as "Air China". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Air China and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Air China
Where is my Air China flight right now?
Search the flight number (CA plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Air China flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do CA and CCA mean on Air China flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. CA is the IATA code you see on tickets; CCA is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Air China operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Air China, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
