NG Model B757-21B B-2815 1:400
This Boeing 757-21B, registered as B-2815, was officially delivered to China Southern Airlines on June 5, 1990, and retired from the airline's fleet on October 15, 2007. It was subsequently sold to Avianca and later converted into a freighter for Federal. It is currently likely in storage.
From January 1985 to August 1986, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Guangzhou Regional Administration submitted three applications to the CAAC headquarters to introduce the Boeing 757. The reason was that the existing Trident and Boeing 737 aircraft in operation were unable to operate international routes such as Guangzhou–Singapore, Guangzhou–Manila, and Guangzhou–Bangkok. On September 20, 1987, the first Boeing 757 ordered by CAAC (registered as B-2801) was officially delivered to the CAAC Guangzhou Regional Administration. The aircraft performed exceptionally well in service, achieving a passenger load factor of 84%. The remaining two aircraft of the same type were delivered successively in October and November of the same year, officially launching the Boeing 757's over 30-year operational history in China.
