Already dwarfing mine! Lots of variation, I’m sure we’ll see some airport updates with these soon

Hopefully with the new additions I can check off another one by April.

Jetstar Japan will be rebranding soon as well since Qantas recently sold all of its shares.

I've made a bunch of new additions lately, and yet there's still more coming - here's a look at the East Asia widebodies individually.
Up first is the Sichuan Airlines A330-200 by Aeroclassics. I've given NG a lot of flack for their frequent Panda Route releases, but I will eventually need to pick one up once I get to doing mainland China. This is wearing an older livery with different titles and aircraft/engine type titles on the engines, a first for the collection. This bird is still flying and does a lot of international flying across East Asia and to Australia.
Second in line is the Singapore A350. One of many released in 400 scale, I got the 2016 Phoenix release, which was the first to be delivered to the airline. It's no surprise this does a lot of long haul flying, but the longest route is reserved for the ULR variant, something I could get away with by using this bird seeing as there's minimal difference (larger sharklet being the only notable one).
Number three is a new airline for the collection - Starlux! This Taiwanese airline started flying in early 2020, mere weeks before the global pandemic, and currently flies the A330neo, A350, and A321neo. This AV400 A359 is a stunner, and in real life this bird has done flights to the US West Coast and Japan in recent days.
In fourth is another Taiwanese jet, a Dynasty 777-300ER. This 2014 Phoenix release has held up well to time I'd say. China Airlines flies to several major cities in the US, including but not limited to Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York.
Five has been a wishlist subject - the Aviation400 Philippines Boeing 777-300ER. A few months ago, one of my friends visited town and brought his copy with. Since then, I've had this marked down to buy, and within this lot it joined the fleet. It's mostly seen on their long-haul flights to North America, but you may see it on high-density routes domestically and across East Asia, too.
And lastly, a sentimental piece. This Korean Air Boeing 747-8i kicked off my first visit to Atlanta last summer, mere minutes after arriving at the hotel. Me and my friends watched from the balcony of our Renaissance hotel room this bird taxi on the south end of the airport. KAL now does double-daily 777-300ERs to ATL, replacing the Jumbo.
Unless a widebody proves critical in the domestic flying range, these will be the last of the widebodies for a while for East Asia.
