China Southern fleet table: Airbus A321-200 (ceo, 81 in service) has THREE passenger configurations — 12 J / 24 W / 143 Y = 179, 4 J / 18 W / 167 Y = 189, and 4 J / 24 W / 167 Y = 195 (W = Premium Economy Class); listed separately from the A321neo (94 in service, 195/200-seat layouts).

Official A321(321) cabin-layout page (the ceo): 179 seats — 12 Business (pitch 42/50/58 in, width 21 in, recline 6 in) / 24 Premium Economy (35 in / 17.8 in / 4.5 in) / 143 Economy (31/43 in / 17.8 in / 4.5 in). Note: on international routes Premium Economy Class is referred to as Economy Class. Seat map is a reference image only. The 17.8-inch economy seat (vs 18.36 in on the neo pages) marks this as the A321-200 (ceo).

Airbus cabin-layout index listing the A321 layouts currently published: A321-200(32Z), A321(321), A321(32L), A321(32Q), A321(32R), A321(32Y). The A321-200-labelled page plus the two plain-A321 pages carrying a narrow 17.3/17.8-inch economy seat correspond to the three A321-200 (ceo) fleet rows; the 18.36-inch economy pages (32Q/32R) are the A321neo.

Official A321(32Y) cabin-layout page: 208 seats — 8 Business / 24 Premium Economy / 176 Economy with an 18.36-inch economy seat. Cited as excluded-config evidence: this 208-seat 'A321' page appears in NEITHER the Wikipedia A321-200 (ceo) rows (179/189/195) nor the A321neo rows (195/200), and its 18.36-inch economy seat matches the neo width, so it cannot be neutrally attributed to the ceo and is out of scope.
Retrieved via Wayback (20240528 raw-bytes). Excluded config; included only as scoping evidence for the neo/ceo determination.

China Southern A321-200 (ceo) 179-seat configuration, csair fleet/config code 321. PER-CABIN COUNTS AND DIMENSIONS ARE PUBLISHED/PRIMARY: China Southern's official cabin-layout page for A321(321) (csair.com, retrieved via the Wayback 2024-05-28 snapshot) lists 12 Business (pitch 42/50/58 in, 21 in width, 6 in recline) / 24 Premium Economy (35 in / 17.8 in / 4.5 in) / 143 Economy (31/43 in / 17.8 in / 4.5 in), total 179. NOTE: China Southern markets the Premium Economy (W) cabin as 'Economy Class' on international routes (per the source page); it is modelled here as premium_economy by canonical tier, consistent with cz-789-276 and the sister neo files cz-321n-195/200. NEO vs CEO ATTRIBUTION: the Wikipedia China Southern fleet table (neutral backbone) lists the A321-200 (ceo) with exactly THREE configs — 12J/24W/143Y=179 (this file), 4J/18W/167Y=189 (cz-321-189) and 4J/24W/167Y=195 (cz-321-195) — separate from the A321neo (195/200). The ceo pages carry a NARROW economy seat (17.8 in here, 17.3 in on the 32Z page) versus the neo's 18.36 in — the width is the primary ceo/neo signal since the csair page labels do not state it. The csair 'A321(32Y)' 208-seat page (8J/24W/176Y, 18.36 in economy) appears in NEITHER Wikipedia fleet row and is excluded for lack of neutral neo/ceo corroboration (see the excluded-config source). LAYOUT DERIVED_FROM_COUNTS: the csair seat map is a reference image only, so the row grid, door/exit positions and the monument-tapered forward partial row are structural reconstructions from the published counts + abreast layouts and CLASSIC A321-200 (ceo) door geometry — FOUR full door pairs (Doors 1-4) with Doors 2 and 3 flanking the wing as the emergency exits, NOT the neo's Airbus Cabin Flex Type III overwing hatches. No windowGridType is bound (the a321neo engineering grid is the wrong variant and there is no a321ceo grid). Every cabin carries derived:true. DERIVATIONS: Business 2-2 rows 1-3 (12); Premium Economy 3-3 rows 4-7 (24); Economy 3-3 rows 8-31 — a forward-right galley/closet tapers row 8 to a 5-seat bulkhead partial (column F removed), leaving 138 in the 23 full rows 9-31, to reach 143; the two full-door exit rows (Doors 2/3) are projected at rows 15 and 23 with normal recline and extra legroom (43 in published), and the last row 31 backs onto the aft galley/lav (limited recline). Doors, galleys and lavatories are derived. windowAlignment left 'unknown' on all window seats (derived grid; Airbus has no published windowless seat on this type). China Southern operates 81 A321-200 (ceo) aircraft (Wikipedia); the per-config airframe split is not published. Exact row numbers, numbering gaps, monument positions and exit-door rows may differ from China Southern's actual map.
What changed
- Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of China Southern A321-200 (ceo) config 321 (179 seats: 12J/24W/143Y) from the csair.com official cabin-layout page (per-cabin counts + pitch/width/recline) with the Wikipedia CZ fleet table as the neutral backbone (A321-200 ceo carries three configs: 179/189/195, distinct from the A321neo). Premium Economy modeled as a separate cabin (premium_economy); row grid, classic 4-door exit geometry and the monument-tapered partial row derived from published counts.
