Chengdu Airlines flies ARJ21 to Harbin
Print Edition
CHINA’S first domestically developed regional jet, ARJ21, began flying to northeast China yesterday after the route became one of five new flight paths that Chengdu Airlines launched.
The airline, the first operator of the 90-seater jet, flew the ARJ21 between Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Harbin in Heilongjiang Province with a stopover in Jinan in Shandong Province.
Flight EU2239 took off from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport at 6:31am yesterday and landed at Harbin Taiping International Airport at 11:28am.
“The opening of the new routes marks the beginning of ARJ21’s commercial operation in the northeast,” said Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China , the jet’s developer.
Another four regional routes have been launched between Harbin and four other cities, including Heihe City bordering Russia and the Wudalianchi Scenic Area, within Heilongjiang as the airline seeks to create a new operation base in Harbin to add to its hub in Chengdu.
“The carrier aims to create a flight network, mainly operated by ARJ21, covering regional airports in Heilongjiang and other northeast provinces,” the airline said.
The airline’s five ARJ21s are already flying in southwest, central and east China. They have flown over 65,000 passengers since commercial operations began in June 2016.
