The aircraft is painted with the color of wine red and adorned with a fluttering golden ribbon in the middle. The tail and engines are engraved with golden phoenix - the logo of the company.

The airline's A321 features a two-class configuration with 12 leather first class seats and 178 economy class seats. This new aircraft will be deployed on popular domestic services linking its hub Shanghai Pudong with Dalian, Shenyang and Xiamen, to provide more capacity for the summer travel peak.
