China Southern's B-5640

China Southern Airlines is taking delivery of B-5640 (c/n 38918, l/n 3961), their newest 737-81B. It's flying out of BFI this morning as CSN123, and will overnight at HNL to complete its first leg. It's seen in the photo on Taxiway C, after landing on Runway 8L; and the above photo one of the South Ramp hardstands.

B-5640 becomes the third CSN airliner painted in the SkyTeam colors. It joins B-2056 (c/n 27525, l/n 66), a 777-21BER, and B-6528 (msn 1202), an A330-223.

In the top photo, the portside of the 737-81B has the China Southern titles in Chinese, while the starboard side has the airline's titles in English.
