The long-awaited sixth C919 aircraft has finally been unveiled, and the seventh and eighth C919 large aircraft are already in line, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the news of delivery will come out.
At 9:30 a.m. on April 5, 2024, a brand-new C919 large aircraft departed from Shanghai Pudong Airport and finally landed at Dunhuang Mogao Airport at 14:17 p.m. This is also one of the places where every C919 large aircraft has been shipped out of the factory for a validation flight mission.
It is worth noting that this sixth C919 large aircraft is also the white standard livery of China Eastern Airlines from the perspective of the livery of China Eastern Airlines, which basically means that it is still China Eastern Airlines that receives the sixth C919 large aircraft, rather than China Southern Airlines, Air China or private Suparna Airlines as many people speculated before.
This C919 large aircraft actually belongs to the second batch, and the first batch is the 5 C919 large aircraft previously received by China Eastern Airlines, so although the sixth C919 has not yet been delivered, some details of it have not been transmitted, and there are still many people who speculate that some details of the interior of this large aircraft will be different.
Judging from the current news, the sixth C919 large aircraft was actually delivered as early as the fifth, that is, it rolled off the assembly line in early March, but it has been performing flight verification tests since then, mainly in the airspace near Shanghai. It is estimated that it will take some time for the C919 large aircraft to be fully delivered, because it will have to complete 100 hours of flight tests and obtain the three qualifications of registration certificate, stand-alone airworthiness certificate and radio license.
After all, judging from the previous news from COMAC, 13 C919 large aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2024, of which in addition to China Eastern Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines and Suparna Airlines will receive C919 large aircraft.
In addition, China Eastern Airlines' first batch of C919 large aircraft orders have been completed, and the next 100 aircraft will definitely not occupy the production capacity of the next 100 aircraft, so there is still a lot of controversy about the delivery object of the sixth C919. However, no matter which airline the sixth C919 aircraft is delivered to, it means that more passengers will be able to experience the C919 aircraft.
At present, China Eastern Airlines' C919 is mainly Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Chengdu and Shanghai-Shaanxi these three regular routes to carry out commercial flight tasks, some industry insiders speculate that if China Eastern Airlines receives the sixth C919 aircraft, then it will be very likely to open a new route, from Shanghai to Guangzhou or from Shanghai to Shenzhen There is a lot of possibility.
There is no doubt that the delivery speed and interval of the C919 large aircraft can also be seen that today's C919 is getting faster and faster, and the production capacity is also constantly improving. When the fifth C919 was delivered, the sixth C919 large aircraft had been rolled off the assembly line, and now the sixth C919 has not been delivered, and the seventh, eighth and even ninth C919 large aircraft have been waiting in line at the Zhuqiao base of COMAC, which basically means that if a series of flight test missions are not considered, then COMAC is basically no big problem in producing 2 C919 large aircraft a month.
Judging from the current news, Air China will receive the C919 large aircraft in June, so combined with the delivery speed, the C919 large aircraft received by Air China may be the eighth or even the ninth C919 large aircraft, then China Eastern Airlines may receive a number of C919 large aircraft in the future, and the opening up of new commercial flight routes is basically just a matter of time.
