Hainan Airlines is taking delivery of its first 737-8 since the grounding, and the pandemic. B-225J (c/n 64709, l/n 7858) is making its delivery flight from BFI to HAK, via HNL and GUM, as CHH225J. This 737-8 was originally ordered by Fuzhou Airlines, a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines, and part of the Hainan Air Group. It was recently re-allocated back to Hainan Airlines, and the Fuzhou logo on the tail and titles were painted over, the rest of the Fuzhou livery remains, and the Hainan titles added.
This is also only the second Hainan Air Group (HNA) delivery to take place, as the
Lucky Air 737-8 delivery a few weeks ago was the first for the group. Six of the 11 of the new-builds for HNA that were in storage after the grounding and pandemic, were re-marketed by Boeing to United Airlines; another two were re-marketed to GOL. Currently, HNA has one other 737-8s to be delivered, to Fuzhou Airlines, sitting in storage at Moses Lake.
