At present, C919 large aircraft flight test certification and delivery preparations are advancing in an orderly manner.
Since 2019, six C919 have conducted flight tests in Shanghai, Yanliang, Dongying, Nanchang and other places, and carried out a series of ground tests and flight tests. In November 2020, C919 won the type inspection approval (TIA) and fully entered the CAAC approval flight test stage.
On March 1, 2021, China Eastern Airlines and COMAC signed the C919 procurement contract in Shanghai. After the introduction of the first five C919, Shanghai will be the main base.
