YZ Alfa Romeo 789


YZ Alfa Romeo 789

Since 2018, Yangtze Airlines has been a partner of the championship winning Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team, and operated a Boeing 787-9 with the team's colors from 2020 onwards. However, the sponsorship deal ended at the conclusion of the 2021 season. Yangtze Group had intended to renew the deal, but when Chinese native Guanyu Zhou joined the Alfa Romeo F1 Team, Yangtze decided to instead become a partner of the hometown hero. B-4477, the former Mercedes jet, was withdrawn from service in early 2022, after having its Mercedes colors mostly stripped at season's end. It re-emerged just a few days ago sporting a new livery, this time resembling that of the Alfa Romeo C42, which will be campaigned by Guanyu Zhou and Valtteri Bottas in the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship. Rumors suggest that the airline had wanted to change the aircraft's registration to B-2477, the racing numbers of Zhou and Valtteri, but CAAC denied the change, so the airline had to stick with the aircraft's old registration of B-4477, albeit changing the name of the Dreamliner to "Turin", Alfa Romeo's Italian home.
