China Eastern takes delivery of its second COMAC C919 jet
China Eastern Airlines has taken delivery of its second domestically manufactured COMAC C919 aircraft, state broadcaster CCTV reported Sunday.
The C919 is produced by the state-owned Commercial Aviation Corp of China (COMAC), which began developing it 15 years ago to compete with the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX single-aisle jet families.

COMAC delivered the first C919 to China Eastern in December and the aircraft completed its first commercial flight in May, which was trumpeted by state media as a symbol of industrial prowess and national pride.
The second C919 has the same cabin configuration as the first aircraft and will join it to cover the Shanghai-Chengdu route, according to CCTV.
