Merge/redirect to China Northern Airlines, which acquired Swan Airlines in 1996, per Deletion policy. Here are sources I found about the subject:  The article notes: "Sunbase was hardly known in Hongkong until last October, when the company announced it was to set up a Harbin-based air carrier, Swan Airlines, with several mainland enterprises. Plans called for Swan Airlines to be operating in March, with international flights to Hongkong, Russia, Japan and South Korea. However, Mr Gao said the launch had been postponed until November. He said initially the airline would fly to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Although reluctant to reveal further details, he said Swan would invest 10 billion yuan (about HK$13.49 billion) in 30 aircrafts by the year 2000 and planned to have 300 pilots by 1995."  The article notes: "The completed acquisitions are China Northern's takeover of Swan Airlines and China Northwest's purchase of Nanjing Airlines."  The book notes: "It also cancelled the licences of several airlines and allowed small airlines to be taken over by larger carriers, e.g. Swan Airlines by China Northern and Fujian Airlines by Xiamen Airlines."  The article notes from Google Translate: "China Northern Swan Airlines is a joint-stock air transport enterprise established along with the reform and development of the civil aviation industry. Based in Harbin International Airport, the company is mainly engaged in domestic and foreign air passenger and cargo transportation, and also operates aviation catering, tourism and other businesses. At present, there are 4 MD90 aircrafts and 4 MD82 aircrafts, and 46 domestic routes and 7 international routes have been opened to 45 large and medium-sized cities at home and abroad."  The article notes from Google Translate: "Swan Air was established in 1993 and is headquartered in Harbin. In 1997, Beihang Heilongjiang Branch and Swan Airlines jointly established Beikong Swan Airlines.  Later, due to the reorganization of civil aviation, Beihang was merged into China Southern.  In 2004, the Civil Aviation Administration of China approved the cancellation of Beihang Goose Airlines Co., Ltd., and agreed to resume the operation of China Southern Heilongjiang Branch." <li> The book notes in the China Northern row of the table: "acquired Swan Airlines by 1996".</li> </ol> Cunard (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2023 (UTC) </li></ul>


 * Strong Delete No indication of significance. Fails WP:NCORP and the references above are routine coverage that doesn't satisfy WP:SIRS. The editor has now been blocked.   scope_creep Talk  16:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect/merge to China Northern Airlines I agree that the company fails WP:NCORP, but I don't see why a redirect would be inappropriate. Jumpytoo Talk 22:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
