They'll still be getting 5 frames despite that unfortunate loss a couple of months back.

Admin, I believe cathay dragon a320 B-HSJ/L/N/O/P/R have been retrofitted to 8/156

QRC3288

Raymond Lu, can you provide more details / clarity?

Are you saying B-HSJ, B-HSL, B-HSN, B-HSO, B-HSP and B-HSR are all now the "A320 (A320-200 v1)" on the link? This would mean only B-HSK is A320-200 v3? And also B-HSR has been reclassified from the Y-only config (A320-200 v2)?

Thanks for the thoughts. Given the extensiveness of your proposed changes, please provide a bit more details. We just want to make sure it's accurate.

All the aircrafts that has been to Xiamen before should be retrofitted. HSR should be refitted just as HSQ, both of them were 168Y config. HSK has not been refitted. HSU is not in XMN, it should be in the now config very soon. Leaving HST as the only 168y.

Raymond Lu

Does anyone know why B-KPM was ferried to Xiamen again? It has already get the new livery applied.

QRC3288

I still don't really understand what you're saying. Are the 4 different A320 types for KA being reduced? And do you mind sharing the source of your information?

Does anyone else understand?

Our KA information definitely needs improvement. I just want to make sure we're editing in accurate information.

Aircraft don't go to XMN just to get paint. They get other maintenance done too.

Many major checks for CX/KA occur at HAECO Xiamen.

KA is refitting all the A320s to get 8/156 new cabin config. I check the aircraft info by checking seat maps online before the flights. From my search, it should be there is only one A32P left, which is B-HSK. And there is only two A32M left, which are B-HST and B-HSU. B-HSU has ferried to Xiamen so that it should get the new cabin config 8/156 very soon.

thank you. I will update it. If you have any more information like this please return. It is very helpful.

To others, if you notice inconsistencies / errors / etc., please point them out. We're looking to keep the Fleet Config doc as useful as possible for fellow frequent fliers.

QRC3288

@ Raymond Lu, can you check the document now and see if the KA A320 section is accurate?

Dear All,

Thanks to everyone who continues to edit the various posts. To ensure accurate information, when recommending edits here please provide your information source. We are grateful for all information / speculation, but will avoid editing intelligent guesses/rumors into the document until we get solid confirmation.

"Bankable" sources we'll edit immediately:

*Passenger first-hand experience on the aircraft/type in mention - please try to remember and return here after you've flown!
*Cathay Pacific / Cathay Dragon / other airline employees first-hand information. Particular thanks to those of you who visit this forum regularly.

We can be faster to edit information, even if it's somewhat outside the parameters above, from forum regulars and journalists who have proven to have consistently valuable information (David Flynn, Danny Lee, etc.).

Information we cannot use as the source of information:
*FR24 movements, including long service interruptions, flights to/from HAECO Xiamen and other refurbishment sites, etc.
*FlightAware movements
*Exterior photographs from plane spotters
*Airliners.net
*Etc

While we are all aviation enthusiasts at various levels, ultimately we're keeping this guide to be as accurate and useful as possible for those who will be traveling on-board the various aircraft. Thanks again!

All,

I have added sections for missing windows to each plane type in the document. Calling anyone in this forum: when you fly and notice a missing window (or know of one), please report back. We will edit it in. Editors: if you're familiar with missing windows in any of these planes, please fill it in directly.

I have coded each class with the colors CX uses for F, J, PEY and F. Editors: simply add a row for each seat (or seat pair) that is missing the windows. For the less-computer savvy of you, the info is contained in the table: right click to have the option to add a row. If you'd like a good example, have a look at 77H - I've filled out what I know from F and J class. I am not familiar with PEY and Y on this plane, so feel free to add what's necessary. Same with all the other planes.

Excellent. I can definitely contribute to this. Love the colour codings too!
