-- Hainan Airlines (SHA:600221) is seeking to raise as much as 500 million yuan in a potential onshore bond offering, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The airline's issuance comes following a debt restructuring more than four years ago, marking its return to the bond market, according to the news outlet.
Hainan Airlines representatives have connected with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in a sale of five-year bonds, according to Bloomberg.
The airline has been planning the possible bond sale for at least one year, Bloomberg said.
