about the livery:

On February 15, 2017, Zhao Dong, then President of Xiamen Airlines, and Cristina Gallach, then Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), signed an agreement on a joint effort to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the UN headquarters in New York. The signing ceremony was witnessed by Wu Hongbo, then UN Under-Secretary-General, and Liu Jieyi, then China’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, who highly praised Xiamen Airlines for its global leadership in supporting and practicing the 2030 SDGs.
January 2018 saw the official delivery of the world’s only aircraft painted with the special UN-sanctioned livery to Xiamen Airlines at Boeing’s Charleston plant. The ceremony was attended by Alison Smale, then UN Under-Secretary-General on behalf of Secretary-General Guterres and Cui Tiankai, then Chinese Ambassador to the United States.
After a global call for names, Xiamen Airlines named the aircraft “United Dream”. The aircraft has a predominantly blue body, representing goodness, hope, and an unlimited future. The white wave on its belly symbolizes the oceans that nourish the lives on the earth. The body is also painted with the slogan, “in support of the UN”, while the tail fin is adorned with 17 UN SDGs icons.
