English term or phrase: ... has established the first brand in terms of ...
I have a text which has very likely been translated from Chinese into English, and now needs to be translated into German.
I have been able to guess most things so far, but I am still guessing the meaning of the sentence marked with **.
Can anyone help?

the air industry of the HNA Group operates approximately 140 airplanes, 3000 flights per week , and have served almost 15 million people counting in times. In 2006, the HNA Group has been granted two lofty honors—the “Golden Roc Cup”, the highest prize for aviation safety of CAAC and the “customer satisfied good service gold medal”, the highest prize for the aviation service quality of CAAC. **The HNA Group has established the first brand of CAAC in terms of safety, punctuality and service**; has been No.1 of customer service for 8 years successively and No.1 of flight punctuality for 7 years successively. HHA is called the best airlines in China.

neutral  Francis Lee (X): May I ask (both in general and in this specific case) if this is a joint effort in terms of two native-speakers or from one in particular? These things are often important!

  -> In this specific case, one German native with lots of experience in the Asian market.

@ Brigitte
Hast du inzwischen weitere erläuternde Infos zum Text bekommen? The more I look at the sentence, the stronger my impression is that "brand" here is in the sense of "Siegel" (wiederum im Sinne von "Brandmal"). ;-)
