The B-32F1 is Shenzhen Airlines' second A350-900 passenger aircraft. Originally owned by Air China, it was transferred to Shenzhen Airlines in 2026.

The A350-900 is an advanced Airbus model, approximately 20% more fuel-efficient than the previous generation A330, with a maximum range of up to 15,750 kilometers.

On June 30, 2026, the inaugural ceremony for Shenzhen Airlines' first Airbus A350 aircraft was held at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport.

The A350 aircraft, adorned with the "Kunpeng" livery, made its official debut. The fuselage design is centered on "Kunpeng," a clever allusion to Shenzhen's nickname, "Pengcheng" (meaning "Peng City"). It incorporates elements of Lingnan's local intangible cultural heritage, such as the Ao fish, the Shatoujiao fish lantern dance, and the kirin (a mythical creature), along with innovative symbols of robots and drones, creating a dynamic and fluid visual effect across the fuselage's curved surfaces.

On its maiden flight, the aircraft operates on two express routes: Shenzhen-Beijing and Shenzhen-Shanghai Hongqiao.
