Starting from Wednesday, China Eastern Airlines' second C919 (aircraft No. B919C) will officially begin operations on the commercial route between Shanghai and Chengdu, the capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The flights MU9197 and MU9198 will operate between Shanghai's Hongqiao International Airport and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport.
The second C919, China's first self-developed narrow-body aircraft, was delivered to Shanghai-based China Eastern on July 16.
It is the second of the five C919 aircraft that China Eastern purchased from C919's developer, Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC).
