China Eastern Airlines<\/strong>, the launch customer for the Chinese-made C919 aircraft, signed a firm order Monday to purchase five of the narrow-body aircraft, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company, which signed a letter of intent with COMAC in 2010, is expected to take delivery of the first C919 aircraft this year, once they are certified by China’s aviation regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The C919, which will compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, is seen as a symbol of China’s civil aerospace ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without disclosing the value of the deal, COMAC said in a statement that the aircraft would be based at China Eastern’s Shanghai headquarters and would be used on routes to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan and among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMAC’s C919 aircraft has received 815 tentative orders, but very few from airlines or leasing companies outside China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
