On December 18, 2024, Xiamen Airlines flight MF8107 had a unique passenger onboard - Mazu, known as the "Goddess of the Sea." The flight departed from Fuzhou to take Mazu to the Beijing Mazu Culture Center for enshrinement.
Mazu was issued her own boarding pass under the name "LINMO (Lin Mo)." This marked her first free ticket on Xiamen Airlines, made possible by Egret Points contributed by her devotees. Passengers with the "Mazu Egret Miles Card" earn extra points on flights related to Mazu temples, with some points donated to support Mazu's travels.
Xiamen Airlines upgraded the flight to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for this occasion. Accompanying Mazu were statues like "Thousand-Mile Eye" and "Favorable Wind Ear," along with various props. The airline conducted thorough preparations for loading these items onto the aircraft.
