Xi Jinping / Chinese Presidential Flight
Follow…
Xi Jinping has served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China since 2012. His VIP fleet is operated by Air China's government division and flies under the CCA00_ callsign block — "CCA001" reserved for presidential movements.
The primary aircraft are two Boeing 747-89L widebodies, B-2479 and B-2481, finished in Air China livery but operated exclusively for senior leadership travel. These are among the largest VIP aircraft in the world, built with extensive hardened communications and counter-measure systems. A Boeing 737-79L BBJ (B-3999) handles shorter domestic and regional hops.
China's presidential aircraft typically activate ADS-B only selectively; transponder-off operations are common for security-sensitive missions. When airborne, they appear under the CCA prefix and are among the most watched government aircraft globally.
