3. B-HLV is a A330 that is still fitted with 2007 non-reclining economy class seats, which will be replaced with 2012 economy class seats when returning to service, still the only CX aircraft painted in 1994-2015 livery and still in long-term storage in Alice Springs.

4. Several A330 aircraft have been equipped with WiFi.

Updates on the 777 fleet:
1. B-HNN, B-HNP and B-KPD are the 777 undergoing a long check/maintenance in Xiamen.
3. B-HNE, B-HNO and B-KPF are the 777 that is still in long-term storage in Alice Springs.


Updates on the future aircraft fleet:
1. 4 Airbus A321neo will be delivered to CX in 2024, with registrations B-HPQ to B-HPT.
2. 8 Airbus A321neo will be delivered to UO in 2024, with registrations B-KKE to B-KKL. The low-cost carrier will get 4 more in 2025.
3. 2 Airbus A321ceo from KA will be delivered to UO in 2024, with registrations B-HTH and B-HTI.


As Hong Kong Express (UO) is part of the Swire Group, should I include its fleet in our document?

Speaking of B-HLV will it be repainted like its sisterships in active service? If not it's the only plane to have that livery and if it were to do CX903 HKG-MNL it would be the only plane on that route to be in it's delivered paint. Yet everything else on CX fleet that does HKG-MNL is in the 2016-present Brushwing livery that includes B-HPI sistership to B-HPQ which is the first HKG-MNL flight CX907. For the freighter fleet the just continued the later batch of A359s B-LQx registrations
