"Eastern Airlines has taken delivery of its first domestic narrow-body aircraft, the C919; the company expects to commence official operations next month."
During a lull in the many meetings in the Capital, Lin Ju's attention was suddenly drawn by a trending search that spiked.
Three months after the initial flight, COMAC managed to produce the first mass-production version of the C919 at breakneck speed, and this aircraft, belonging to Eastern Airlines, was put through a joint test flight at Modu Hongqiao Airport by pilots they had dispatched.
If the 100 hours of flight testing were problem-free, that would mean the aircraft could officially be handed over to the airline to start selling tickets for commercial operations.
Watching the bright blue and green livery of the C919 undergoing extensive test flights in public, Lin Ju couldn't help but think of the C822 and the C832.
