Today, we ushered in an important moment - the official delivery of the third C919 large passenger aircraft to China Eastern Airlines. The delivery of this aircraft marks the imminent mass production of domestic large aircraft, and also means that China's aviation industry has made a new breakthrough in independent innovation.
The C919 is the third of the first five aircraft purchased by China Eastern Airlines, numbered B-919D. Compared to the previous two aircraft, it has a consistent cabin layout, with 158-192 seats and a range of 4,075-5,555 km. As China's first jet trunk airliner developed in accordance with international airworthiness standards, the C919 passenger aircraft has important historical significance and practical value. Its successful development and delivery not only broke the monopoly of foreign passenger aircraft in the domestic market, but also enhanced the independent innovation capability of China's aviation industry.
At the delivery ceremony, the East China Regional Administration of Civil Aviation issued the C919 aircraft with a nationality registration certificate, airworthiness certificate and radio station license to China Eastern Airlines. The issuance of these certificates indicates that the aircraft has been qualified for commercial operation and meets the airworthiness requirements of civil aviation regulations. This also means that the C919 large passenger aircraft is about to be put into commercial operation, bringing new options to the domestic and foreign aviation markets.
The C919 is the third of China Eastern Airlines and one of the first deliveries in global procurement. China Eastern Airlines has become the world's largest user of C919 large passenger aircraft, which also fully demonstrates the market's confidence and expectation in domestic large aircraft. According to the plan, the C919 passenger aircraft purchased this time will be delivered in batches from 2024 to 2031, providing more choices and support for China Eastern Airlines' route layout.
With the continuous development of the global economy and the continuous expansion of the aviation market, domestic large aircraft have ushered in unprecedented opportunities. In the next few years, the C919 large passenger aircraft is expected to be put into commercial operation, bringing new options and experiences to the domestic and foreign aviation markets. We expect COMAC to continue to produce more domestic large aircraft with independent intellectual property rights, contribute to the development of domestic large aircraft, and contribute to the progress of the global aviation industry.
The development and production of domestic large aircraft not only need technical support, but also need the cooperation of the entire aviation industry system. As an important domestic aviation manufacturing enterprise, COMAC has a relatively complete aviation manufacturing industry chain and advanced chain through years of R&D and production practice. From design and development to parts manufacturing, first-class flight test, and then to mass production, COMAC has formed a complete set of production system and quality control system. This also provides a strong guarantee for the development of domestic large aircraft.
In conclusion, the delivery of the third C919 large passenger aircraft is a major milestone in the development of China's aviation industry. It not only represents that the independent innovation capability of China's aviation industry has been further improved, but also means that China's aviation market is about to usher in more domestic large aircraft with independent intellectual property rights. We look forward to the commercial operation of domestic large aircraft in the next few years, bringing more choices and experiences to the domestic and foreign aviation markets." At the same time, we are also proud and proud of the development of COMAC and the entire aviation industry system
