China’s first domestically developed large passenger jet C919 has made its first commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing. Single-aisle, twin-engined aircraft has 164 seats and it carried more than 130 passengers on board.
According to CCTV, passengers were given red boarding cards and would partake in a lavish “themed meal” to remember the journey. China has made significant investments in domestic jet manufacture in an effort to become self-sufficient in critical technology.
