Mandarin Airline's parent company is China airlines, AE mainly operates domestic and regional international flights; In HKG airport, there is only one airline operating Embraer aircraft to this airport and this is Mandarin airlines; In 2014, Mandarin Airlines operates HKG-RMQ and HKG-TNN with their E190 aircraft.
Still some time before boarding, i went to take some photos of aircraft
Finnair don't usually operates A330 to HKG
Is time for boarding, E190 only use outer bay
I love using outer bay since it will give me a great opportunity to take some great shots of aircraft closely
Take off
The safety card
Although this is a short flight, AE still manage to provide hot meals and it taste very good indeed
Shortly after the meal, is about time to land at TaiChung
The cabin of AE's E190
A great opportunity to visit the cockpit
Thanks for the report!
It seemslike a nice little flight. I love Embraers. I like their look, and the pitch is usually pretty good.
Having a hot meal for such a short hop is indeed really nice.
Hi and thanks for this FR.
Great spotting at HKG, really good pictures. Cabin is looking very nice, especially the seats. I guess they were comfortable to sit on
Very nice report with beautiful pictures. Awesome spotting pics at HKG. Mandarin offers a really attractive product. I am a fan of E170/190 for the very comfortable Economy experience. Thaks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this nice report on a rarely reported carrier. Your excellent pictures are the perfect complements.
AE used to be an all E-190 airline (I discovered they added a 738 to their fleet last year) : a comfortable plane with a good seat pitch and convenient 2+2 seating. The typical ticket price is quite high for the distance on the HKG - Taiwan routes, so they can afford to serve a hot meal. Thanks for this report !
