China Airlines has just taken delivery of its first A321neo, and it looks like it will be a great improvement for the SkyTeam carrier.
China Airlines has plans for the A321neo.
The first of 25 A321neos is about to join the China Airlines fleet. China Airlines has only one narrow body aircraft, the Boeing 737-800, and these A321neos will be used to replace it.
In terms of passenger and cargo capacity, range, fuel efficiency, and passenger experience, the switch from the Boeing737-800s to the A321neos will be quite an improvement for the airline. China Airlines, EVA Air, and Starlux Airlines are some of the best airlines in Taiwan. It is always exciting to see how airlines in Taiwan are evolving.

The economy class of China Airlines.
China Airlines has 168 economy class seats in the A321neos, spread across 28 rows. There isn't much innovation when it comes to the economy class experience on narrow body aircraft. Boeing narrow body aircraft are more comfortable than the narrow body aircraft of the same manufacturer, due to the wider cabins and wider seats.
The economy class seats of China Airlines have picture-in-picture functions. The seats have some innovative looking seat pockets, with several pouches and straps for holding items you may want to use during the flight.
