History took flight this week as Air China’s sleek C919 jet—painted with the iconic Chinese national flag—touched down in Macao SAR, greeted by a celebratory water cannon salute 🎉. The moment marked a milestone for China’s homegrown aviation tech, blending national pride with cutting-edge engineering.
The C919 arrived for the 13th Macao Business Aviation Exhibition, where it’ll dazzle crowds for four days ✈️. But the trip wasn’t just about show-and-tell: It also honored the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China—a double win for national celebration 🎂.
Captain Hao Xin, part of Air China’s C919 leadership team, shared exclusive details: “We’ve already conquered major routes like Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Hangzhou,” he said, hinting at upcoming expansions to Beijing-Wuhan and beyond 🗺️. The jet in Macao is Air China’s second C919, delivered just weeks ago on November 5. Their first took off commercially in September, signaling China’s soaring ambitions in global aviation.
