C919: Chinese-built passenger jet completes first flight
China's first domestically produced passenger jet made its maiden commercial flight on Sunday when a China Eastern Airlines C919 flew from Shanghai to Beijing. The journey marks a milestone in the nation's decadeslong effort to compete with Western rivals in the aviation sector. The C919 plane took off from Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai at 10: 32 a. m. local time (0232 GMT), bound for Beijing Capital Airport, according to flight tracker app Variflight. State broadcaster CCTV said the jetliner was carrying 130 passengers.
The broadcaster said the flight "arrived smoothly" in Beijing just after 12: 30 p. m., around 40 minutes ahead of schedule. "I'm confident about the plane. The flight was smoother than expected," one of about 130 passengers told CCTV as he disembarked. Passengers received red boarding passes and a sumptuous "themed meal" to commemorate the flight, the TV channel reported. After a turnaround of 1 hour 40 minutes, the plane was scheduled to fly back to Shanghai. From Monday, the C919 will operate on China Eastern's regular route between Shanghai and the southwestern city of Chengdu, CCTV reported.
The C919 is built by the state-owned Commercial Aviation Corp of China (COMAC). COMAC began developing the C919 15 years ago to rival the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX single-aisle jet families. COMAC has received around 1,200 orders for the C919, mostly from domestic airlines, according to local media.
