Xiamen Airlines Boeing 787-9 · B-1356

About This Photo

The primary subject is a XiamenAir Boeing 787-9 aircraft captured in flight, with its gear extended and descending or preparing to land. The airplane has a unique livery predominantly in blue and turquoise, featuring prominent white text along the fuselage reading "in support of the UN." The aircraft registration "B-1356" is visible on the rear section of the fuselage near the tail and on the landing gear doors. The forward fuselage displays additional Chinese characters and the XiamenAir logo is on the tail fin and near the cockpit area. The two large turbofan engines are noticeable under each wing, with one engine showing the nacelle detail clearly. The airplane is oriented slightly nose-up, with flaps partially extended. No other aircraft, ground vehicles, personnel, airport buildings, or equipment are visible in the image. The clear sky background is bright blue with no clouds, indicating good weather conditions and likely daytime lighting with sunlight illuminating the aircraft from the left side. There is no visible runway, taxiway, terminal, or other airport infrastructure, suggesting the airplane is airborne, possibly during final approach or short of landing. The composition focuses solely on the aircraft against a plain sky, providing a clean, isolated subject view.
