Harbin, China, December 23, 2024: China Eastern Airlines has unveiled its second themed aircraft for the upcoming 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games.
The themed jet, which is an A330 wide-body jetliner, made its debut flight from Haikou Meilan International Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, according to the Shanghai-based carrier.
China Eastern Airlines is an official cooperation partner of the 9th Asian Winter Games, which will run from February 7-14, 2025 in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province.
The first themed jet debuted on October 30, when the 100-day countdown to the Asian Winter Games was celebrated. In the first two weeks of operation, it had conducted 49 flights for more than 6,600 passenger trips.
Compared to the first themed aircraft, the second one is bigger and capable of conducting flights of further distance with better traveling experience.
The outside is painted with various elements of the Asian Winter Games, including images of the event's mascots - Siberian tigers "Binbin" and "Nini". The interior of the jet's cabin is decorated with wintry motif-like ice and snow in its tray tables and overhead bins.
