China's de facto 'Air Force One' — a Boeing 747-8i delivered to Air China in December 2014 and given a bespoke VIP cabin in Hamburg in 2016. Uniquely configured among Air China's 747-8 fleet and reserved for President Xi Jinping, it carried him on his November 2024 South American tour to the APEC and G20 summits. China keeps no dedicated state airline; by rule only the President and Premier may use these flagship jumbos.

We track the aircraft, not who is aboard. Ownership reflects the FAA registrant; attribution and purpose, where shown, are tiered by evidence. Some tails are blocked from public display.
