011 - China Orient, Airbus A330-200

Shanghai-based China Orient (mandarin : 中国东方航空公司) is China's largest privately-owned airline. It operates to a range of domestic, regional and intercontinental destinations. The airline's logo is a calligraphic take on the character 东 (pinyin : dōng), meaning East or Orient.

China Orient's livery features the company's name in both english and mandarin, with both sides being slightly different.

The A330-200, as the one shown here, constitutes the airline's long haul fleet mainstay, alongside the larger B777-300ER.

(The livery is partly inspired by BA's world tail "rendez-vous" )
