FlightGlobal has published an excellent examination of HNA Group, the struggling Chinese behemoth. It sums up the “annus horribilis” it has had this year, from its problems meeting interest payments on debt, to attempts to sell off several assets.

The share is held by HNA’s own leasing arm, Bohai Leasing, and HNA was thought to want to hold on to its aircraft leasing business. However, Bohai has offloaded 30% to Orix Aviation. It’s a good article outlining what has happened (so far) this year at the mysterious Chinese group.
