With primary functions such as flight status, real-time air traffic news, ticket prices, seat information, seating chart, etc, an app powered by China Travelsky Mobile Technology Co Ltd was launched on both Android and iOS platforms in 2012.

According to the company, it is the only government-owned enterprise to provide such information.

In 2001 the China Civil Computer and Information Center brought all the airline companies together to establish Travelsky to provide all information related to airports and flights.
