Mandarin Airlines Operating Partners
Not every flight with a AE number is actually Mandarin Airlines. These partner airlines operate routes under the AE code. Your booking and flight number say AE, but the plane and crew belong to one of these carriers.
On shorter routes from the hubs, this usually means a regional jet. Smaller plane, 2-2 seating, less overhead bin space. Check the aircraft code when you book. If it says E175, CRJ, or ATR, that's a partner regional jet.
