China Eastern Airlines took delivery of its first Airbus A2024-321NX in Hamburg-Finkenwerder at the end of October 200 and plans to use it together with other aircraft on order to renew its Airbus fleet.

The new aircraft (registration B-32HX) was flown to Shanghai via Astana after delivery and is expected to be integrated into commercial operations soon. In total, the airline has ordered 68 units of the A321-200NX, which are scheduled to be delivered by 2027. This order is part of a larger order from 2022, in which several Chinese airlines ordered a total of 292 aircraft from the A320neo family.

The new model will gradually replace China Eastern's older A321ceo fleet and is equipped with two classes, including 12 business and 186 economy seats. China Eastern plans to use the A321-200NX primarily on profitable domestic routes, but is also considering expansion to international routes to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. China Eastern currently already operates numerous Airbus and Boeing aircraft, as well as COMAC C919 aircraft and ARJ21-700 regional jets from OTT Airlines, a subsidiary.
