Another branch of the huge Hainan Airlines empire, Urumqi Air was set up to serve the western Xinjiang province in 2015. An AVIC ARJ-21 regional airliner in their colours was among three at the Zhuhai Airshow on the trade days at the beginning of the week, but unfortunately they departed before I had an opportunity to capture them.

Of a fleet currently approaching 500, about a quarter of China Eastern's equipment consists of Boeing 737s. Arguably the old colour scheme, still to be seen on a few aircraft in 2018, was more attractive than this rather simple branding.

Now here is something extraordinary. This aircraft was written off in a landing accident at Fuzhou in 2015, a search using the registration showing many descriptions of the incident and photos of the wings twisted off amongst other serious damage. It must have had a major rebuild with a lot of new structure.

With a fleet of over 80 A320s and 100 destinations, Shanghai-based Spring Airlines is a low-cost carrier selling tickets exclusively via their ch.com website. They gained attention some years ago when it was proposed to operate A320s in a high-density configuration with backrests replacing seats, but approval from Airbus was not forthcoming.

As I understand it, Chairman Mao flew in this plane (or at least a C-47 with serial 476650) to atttend the Chongqing Negotiations in 1945. The TS-62 designator signifies that, due to a shortage of powerplants, after the Second World War this C-47 was fitted with Russian built ASh-62IR (АШ-62ИР) engines.

GX Airlines (or to give it its full name Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines) is based at Nanning Wuxu with a fleet at the time of writing of 16 ERJ-190s and six A320s. It was established by Tianjin Airlines in 2015 in a joint venture with a local investment group, hence the similarity of colour scheme.

Of over 200 737s operated by China Southern, this one was a recent delivery in June 2018. I flew Wuhan-Zhuhai on another example and rather bizarrely had seat 49K - the cabin rows started at 31 with no seats D, E, F or G!

The JH-7 was designed as an anti-shipping fighter-bomber, and interestingly the first examples in the early 1990s used imported Rolls-Royce Spey engines. These were later superseded by locally-built copies known as the WS-9. The comprehensively improved JH-7A entered service with the PLANAF in early 2004, and with the PLAAF by the end of that year. Around 270 of the two versions are thought to have been built.
