China's first self-developed aircraft C919 delivered

On Dec 9, the first C919 aircraft for commercial use was delivered to China Eastern Airlines. The C919, China's first domestically-developed large passenger jet, made its maiden flight in 2017 and received a certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China in September.

As the first such model globally, China Eastern also needs to carry out more than 100 hours of testing flights to verify and confirm the operational safety, maintenance reliability and various operational support capabilities of the aircraft.

The introduction of the C919 is a milestone achievement for the domestic high-tech sector. The fact that China can organize such a big project means "Made in China" has reached a higher level.
