Sichuan A321 near Guangzhou bleed air fault A Sichuan Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration B-1823 performing flight 3U-8906 from Fuzhou to Chengdu (China), was enroute at 10,400 meters (FL341) about 130nm northeast of Guangzhou (China) when the crew decided to divert to Guangzhou.  The aircraft descended to 3,000 meters (about 9,800 feet) levelling off about 11 minutes after leaving 10,400 meters, and landed safely on Guangzhou's runway 02R about 40 minutes later. The airline reported an air bleed fault (engine V2533) prompted the diversion. A replacement A321-200N registration B-324L reached Chengdu with a delay of about 6.5 hours.
