China's Hainan Airlines Tourism Group and Lede Technology, a subsidiary of NetEase, have formally signed a cooperation agreement in Hangzhou to establish a new online travel company.
Financial terms of the arrangement were not immediately available.
HNA and NetEase had previously signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement in December 2014.
