Official Boeing 787-9 seating chart: 287 total, 30 Business at 46-inch pitch and 257 Economy at 32/33-inch pitch; Business rows 11-18 and Economy rows 41-70.
Recovered as raw bytes from the Wayback Machine timestamp 20230408163513 because XiamenAir's current CMS entry is empty. The drawn Economy glyph grid exceeds the published 257-seat count, so the numeric cabin total is authoritative and the rear count-reconciliation taper is explicitly derived.

Official 787-9 product article: 287 passengers, 30 Business/257 Economy, 30-degree reverse-herringbone Super Diamond seats, nearly two-metre beds, 18-inch Business screens (compared with 15 inches on the 787-8), and onboard Wi-Fi.

Current XiamenAir fleet table lists parent-airline cabin splits: 737-800 C8Y156/C8Y162/Y184; 737 MAX 8 C8Y166/Y184; 787-8 F4C18Y215; 787-9 C30Y257; A321neo C8Y200. Its 787-8 note describes both First and Business as 180-degree lie-flat products.

Issuer-authored 2026 financing prospectus, pages 71-72: at 2025-03-31 the parent fleet included 118 737-800s, 22 737-8s, six 787-8s, six 787-9s, and 17 A321neos; Hebei Airlines and Jiangxi Air are listed separately.

XiamenAir's official chart and product article both publish 30 Business/257 Economy=287, superseding the assignment hint of 4F/24J/259Y. Business geometry is map-backed: row 11 has the two outboard seats and rows 12-18 are full 1-2-1 reverse herringbone (30 total). MIXED PROVENANCE: the official Economy diagram labels rows 41-70 but its low-resolution repeated glyphs cannot be reconciled seat-for-seat with the explicit 257 count. The numeric airline total controls; rows 41-67 are modelled full and rows 68-70 use a clearly marked 7/4/3-seat derived taper. The current Chinese Wikipedia table lists the same C30Y257 split. No exact 787-9 engineering window grid exists, so all window positions remain unknown rather than guessed.
