On November 13, China's flag carrier Air China announced in Beijing that it has added one more Olympic themed airplane to its fleet.

The Boeing 737-800 jetliner painted with the five mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on both sides of its body was unveiled at a high-profile ceremony attended by senior officials from the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) and the China National Aviation Holding Company as well as Olympic champion Deng Yaping.

The company, a BOCOG partner, said it has put a total of six Olympic-themed airplanes into operation since last year. The latest one will fly from Beijing to eight other Chinese cities in the next three weeks where celebrations will be held on its arrival.
