China's homegrown C919 passenger jet just leveled up its game! ✨ The aircraft (registration B-658N) touched down at Changsha Huanghua International Airport this week, marking its debut with China Southern Airlines' Hunan branch. This makes Changsha the fourth Chinese city to operate the jet after Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
🚀 Why it matters: This launch establishes China's first dual-base C919 operation between Guangzhou and Changsha – a major step in scaling up commercial use of domestic aircraft. A China Southern Airlines Hunan branch representative confirmed plans to add a second C919 before the 2026 Spring Festival travel rush, with expanded routes across key cities.
📅 Travelers take note: During next year's Spring Festival, the C919 will connect Changsha to Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai with 3+ daily flights on the Beijing route alone. Perfect timing for tech-savvy travelers wanting to experience China's aviation innovation firsthand!
