On the occasion of the 67th National Day in China, Hainan Airlines unveiled the first Kung Fu Panda livery on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
The Haikou-based carrier operated a special Kung Fu Panda-themed flight on October 1, to celebrated the inaugural flight of the Dreamliner, Registration B-1540.
In June 2016, Hainan Airlines reached a new collaboration with DreamWorks Animation to feature the "Kung Fu Panda" film franchise on six 787-9 Dreamliners, delivered in 2016-2017, which provides nonstop service between China and seven North American destinations.
These full-wrap designs will showcase characters and scenes from the blockbuster film franchise, including Po, Tigress, Monkey and others, and will remain for a three-year period.
Hainan Airlines is China's only airline to operate both the 787-8 and the newest 787-9 Dreamliners in its fleet. The larger 787-9 features 289 seats in a two-class configuration and is an update to Boeing's industry-leading airplane.
