ANNOUNCEMENT ON POSTPONEMENT OF RESUMPTION

OF TRADING REGARDING THE PLANNING OF NON-PUBLIC

OFFERING OF SHARES

The board of directors and all directors of the Company guarantee that the information set out in this announcement does not contain any false statements, misleading representations or material omissions, and severally and jointly accept responsibility as to the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the content herein.

Trading in the shares of Air China Limited (the "Company") has been suspended with effect from 30 June 2015 upon application by the Company due to the planning of non-public offering of shares, details of which are set out in the Company's Announcement on Suspension of Trading in the Shares of Air China Limited Regarding the Planning of Non-public Offering of Shares and Announcement on Continued Suspension of Trading in the Shares of Air China Limited Regarding the Planning of Non-public Offering of Shares published on the website of Shanghai Stock Exchange (www.sse.com.cn) and in the China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News and Securities Daily on 30 June 2015 and 7 July 2015 respectively.

Currently, the proposal for issuance of shares has taken shape. The Company has been approached by potential investors who are prepared to be locked up for trading of shares during a period of 36 months, and the Company is actively negotiating with such investors. As the recent volatility in the A-share market has some effects on the pricing of the shares to be issued under the proposal for issuance, the Company has yet to reach a consensus with the investors on details including the issue price. The relevant work is in progress, and there are still uncertainties regarding the issuance of shares.

In order to ensure fair disclosure of information, safeguard the interests of investors, and avoid unusual movements in the share price of the Company, trading in the shares of the Company will continue to be suspended with effect from 14 July 2015 upon application by the Company.

The Company will proceed with the relevant work as soon as possible, make an announcement on the progress of the non-public offering of shares by the Company within 5 trading days (including the day of continued suspension announced) from the day of continued suspension in trading of the shares, and perform its disclosure obligations in strict compliance with the provisions and requirements of relevant laws and regulations. As there are uncertainties regarding the above matters, investors are advised to take note of the progress announcement of the Company and be aware of investment risks.

                                                                                             By order of the board

Rao Xinyu
