China’s First Domestically Constructed Jet Takes Its First Commercial Flight

China’s first indigenously constructed passenger aircraft, the C919, took off on its first commercial flight on Sunday, marking the country’s official entry into the civil aviation industry in an effort to compete with Western rivals such as Boeing and Airbus.

China Eastern Airlines operates the first commercial flight of the C919 from Shanghai to Beijing.

The plane was carrying 160 passengers. The flight from Shanghai to Beijing took roughly two hours and twenty-five minutes.

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) built the C919, which was granted a type certificate by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in September.
