Shanghai AJ Group partners with Juneyao for aviation investment

Investment holding company Shanghai AJ Group is partnering with Juneyao Air to potentially make an investment in an aviation company. Shanghai AJ, a related party of Juneyao Air, will jointly invest in Shanghai Jidaohang Aviation Technology Partnership, according to a 21 May filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Juneyao announced on 30 April that it would set up Jidaohang Aviation Technology with strategic partners to invest in aviation entities abroad.
