introduction
China Eastern Airlines' fleet of domestically produced large aircraft C919 ushered in the first full fleet flight during the summer of 2024. This historic event marks the official entry into large-scale commercial operation of China's self-developed large passenger aircraft. China Eastern Airlines sent a total of six C919 aircraft into operation during the summer season, operating four major domestic routes, including Shanghai Hongqiao to Guangzhou Baiyun, Shanghai Hongqiao to Beijing Daxing, Shanghai Hongqiao to Xi'an Xianyang, and Shanghai Hongqiao to Chengdu Tianfu. The opening of these routes not only increases the density of flights, but also greatly facilitates the travel of the majority of passengers.
The whole team of C919 set a new record for the single-day flight mileage of a domestic large aircraft, with a single-day flight mileage of 26,000 kilometers and an average of 19 flight segments per day. This data not only proves the flight performance of the C919, but also shows the efficient operation of its fleet. During the summer season, China Eastern Airlines plans to dispatch nearly 800 passenger planes and carry out 1,002 passenger routes, covering 249 domestic and foreign destinations, with an average of 3,213 flights per day. The recovery rate of international and regional flights even exceeded the level of the same period in 2019, reaching 102%.
The C919 makes its summer debut
With the arrival of the summer peak, the heat of the domestic civil aviation market continues to rise. For the first time, the C919 fleet was dispatched by the whole team, and six aircraft were fully put into operation on four major domestic routes, demonstrating the strong strength of domestic large aircraft. The six C919 aircraft operated at full duty on four routes, flying 19 segments in a single day, reaching a flight mileage of 26,000 kilometers, setting a new record for a single day flight of a large domestic aircraft.
On domestic routes, including Shanghai Hongqiao to Guangzhou Baiyun, the C919 has been fully put into operation, providing more choices for the majority of passengers. Efficient flight performance and stable operation ability make the C919 capable of high-frequency flight missions. Passengers can also enjoy a smooth and comfortable flight during peak periods.
Before each C919 aircraft is ready to take off, it must undergo strict safety inspection and debugging to ensure the safety and reliability of each flight. During the flight, the crew needs to monitor the status of the aircraft at all times to ensure the smooth progress of the flight. At the end of the flight, the ground handling team quickly carried out various maintenance work to ensure that the aircraft was back in service within a short time.
Inside, the C919 offers a superior cabin layout and a comfortable ride. The increased seat pitch in Economy Class allows passengers to get better legroom during long flights. In-flight entertainment systems, catering services and a variety of convenient amenities make the journey more enjoyable. Business Class and Premium Economy Class also offer higher-end services and higher-spec seating configurations.
In terms of service assurance, China Eastern Airlines has formulated a detailed operational plan and contingency plan. During the summer season, in the face of a large number of flights and passengers, China Eastern Airlines deployed sufficient crew and ground staff to ensure the smooth take-off and landing of each flight. Timely updates and advance notification of flight information also make it easier for passengers to plan their trips.
C919 flight missions
The C919 subdivides the specific flight missions of each aircraft to ensure efficient operation during the summer season. The B-919A aircraft shared the dual route from Shanghai Hongqiao to Guangzhou Baiyun and Xi'an Xianyang, completing four flight segments per day, demonstrating its high-frequency flight capability. The B-919C focuses on the Shanghai Hongqiao-Beijing Daxing route, with three flight segments serving business travelers and tourists travelling between the two places.
The rational distribution of flight missions is also reflected in the B-919D, covering the flight range from Shanghai Hongqiao to Chengdu Tianfu, and the setting of the two flight segments provides a guarantee for long-distance flights. The B-919E became the aircraft with the longest single-day mileage because it carried out the round-trip route from Shanghai Hongqiao to Xi'an Xianyang, and its stable flight capability was fully demonstrated.
Although the B-919F and B-919G both belong to the Hongqiao-Chengdu Tianfu route, they undertake different flight tasks due to the different departure and arrival times and flight numbers. This flexible arrangement not only improves flight coverage, but also better meets the diverse travel needs of summer passengers. These assignments fully demonstrate the efficiency and coordination of the C919 fleet.
Through meticulous mission planning, each C919 aircraft has been fully utilized, ensuring large-scale and high-frequency flight operation capabilities. During the peak period of summer transportation, China Eastern Airlines promoted the full deployment of the C919 fleet, which not only verified the performance and reliability of a single aircraft, but also verified the coordinated operation ability of the entire fleet. Every detail of this flight plan demonstrates the maturity and professionalism of China Eastern Airlines in the field of management and scheduling.
The overall arrangement of China Eastern Airlines' summer transportation
During the summer season, China Eastern Airlines deployed nearly 800 passenger planes, covering 1,002 passenger routes and 249 domestic and foreign destinations. The average number of daily flights carried out reached 3,213, an increase of 13% compared to the same period in 2019. The high frequency of take-off and landing on major routes not only marks the full recovery of the aviation market, but also indicates the continuous growth of the industry. The recovery of international and regional flights reached 102% of the same period in 2019, showing the recovery of the aviation market.
The dispatch of a large number of passenger planes indicates that China Eastern Airlines' capacity and dispatch capabilities are being fully utilized. The wide range of routes covers more domestic and foreign passengers to enjoy convenient air services. In the day-to-day operation, the flight team, ground staff and logistics support department work closely together to ensure the smooth execution of each flight.
The recovery of the aviation market is not only reflected in the increase in the number of flights, but also in the recovery of passenger traffic. China Eastern's efficient operation management and high-quality services have further enhanced passengers' satisfaction and trust. The sufficient capacity during the summer travel period provides a solid guarantee for the travel needs of many passengers.

In the face of huge travel demand, the flight schedule of the C919 fleet is tight and orderly to ensure that every flight segment can be completed efficiently. The crew members worked around the clock to carry out the mission, and the ground support team actively cooperated to provide all-round support.
Increasingly complex route scheduling and high-frequency flight missions require precise coordination among various departments.
