The company was founded on 24 May 2010, as a subsidiary of East Pacific (Holdings) Ltd. At that time, the airline was called Donghai Airlines. On 17 January 2019, the airline's name changed to Donghai Airlines (Hong Kong) Limited, while on 05 December 2019 the airline renamed as Hong Kong Bauhinia Airlines. On 8 July 2020, the airline was again renamed, to Greater Bay Airlines.[6][7][8][5]

During Greater Bay Airline's application to become a certified airline, the process was delayed due to concerns expressed by rivals Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines.[9] In September 2021, Greater Bay Airlines received its first aircraft, an ex-Norwegian Air International 2017-build Boeing 737-800 leased from the company ICBC Financial Leasing.[9][10] Its first charter flight was on 29 November 2021 and was a same-day round trip from Hong Kong to Bangkok.[11][12] A second aircraft was leased in March 2022, compared with the seven aircraft originally planned.[13]

Greater Bay Airlines first passenger flight occurred from Hong Kong to Bangkok on 23 July 2022. As of August 2022, the company's plans are to fly this route on Wednesdays and Saturdays.[1]
