Executives from Shanghai-headquartered China Eastern Airlines Ltd and the Lin-gang Special Area – located in East China's Shanghai city – signed a strategic cooperation agreement and memorandum of understanding, or MOU, on June 29, to develop a new global civil aviation industry hub in the area.

Under the agreement, the two will jointly develop seven major projects – an Asia Pacific one-stop aviation logistics hub, an international aviation maintenance service platform, aviation financial services, an Asia Pacific aviation materials trade and distribution center, aviation ground equipment system services, joint-venture aero engine production and the construction of an eco-friendly digital city.

The projects will involve an investment of over 22 billion yuan ($ 3.3 billion).
