Variant identity
Hainan Airlines uses this Airbus A330-200 (Aura Lite) page for 36J / 186Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 36J / 186Y

Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Hainan Airlines. Seat codes, cabin assignments, row structure and cabin totals passed independent source verification. Spacing and facility placement remain schematic unless the map explicitly says otherwise. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (36J + 186Y = 222 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
