If they’re not in your Fleet listing, they may have joined the Company from one of the other Chinese companies when they were all merged together [into three majors] last year or thereabouts?

That one is already delivered.

Looking on www.airliners.net it showed A321’s and MD 82’s and Boeing 757-300’s all authentic and it doesnt show any of them in my AFQR 2003

The series 320 is becoming a common sight in Asia. Was china Southern operating 737’s or similar for their short-haul operations?
