The second C919, China's first self-developed narrow-body jet, was delivered to its first global customer China Eastern Airlines on Sunday morning in Shanghai.
The jet took off from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport at 10:06 am and landed at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 10:20 am. It will officially join China Eastern's fleet on Sunday, according to the Shanghai-based carrier.
Being the second of the five C919 jets to be delivered to China Eastern, the new jet has the same cabin layout as the first one. And the jetliner will join the first C919 to carry out flights between Shanghai and Chengdu of Sichuan province, with plans to expand its commercial services to more Chinese cities, China Eastern said.
