Kunming Airlines' first 737 MAX 8 aircraft, numbered B-206Y, begins its commercial flights from Kunming to Chengdu and Pudong from 28 October 2018. It first arrived in Kunming Changshui after 12 am on 23 October 2018. Another 737 MAX 8 will be added to the airline's current fleet of 27 aircraft before end of this year.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 of Kunming Airlines features a 168-seat two-cabin layout with eight Business Class and 160 Economy Class seats. The aircraft seats are more spacious and passengers will have a more comfortable ride.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 uses a lighter, higher-performance engine that utilizes the most advanced technology available today, with greater thrust, less carbon dioxide emissions, and brings about a greener environment. The noise pollution is lower, as if putting on noise-cancelling headphones. 

By improving the intake of the auxiliary power unit, lengthening the tail cross section above the tail vertebra and the thickened elevator, the stability of 737 MAX 8 during flight is improved, the bump index is effectively reduced, and the seat is generally stable as if sitting on a chair on the ground. 

Double feathered advanced technology winglets of 737 MAX8 can reduce fuel consumption, drag and improve fuel efficiency. The superior fuel performance gives the aircraft a longer range radius, which will help Kunming Airlines develop its route network.
