A special aircraft livery for the 15th National Games was unveiled on Friday. The custom-painted Airbus A350, operated by China Southern Airlines, took off from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport on its maiden flight to Beijing Daxing.

The design features elements representing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in support of the upcoming national sports event.

The aircraft will serve multiple domestic routes departing from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Beijing in the coming weeks.
