China Eastern Airlines (CEA) carried out a 100-hour verification flight for its first C919 aircraft on Monday to verify and confirm the aircraft's operation safety, paving the way for its commercial debut in spring of 2023.

Because the C919 is a new model, CEA will need to carry out an empty aircraft verification test flight on the basis of obtaining initial approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), to test and confirm the aircraft's operational safety, maintenance reliability and various operational support capabilities.

After this, the airline company will apply to the CAAC for the Operation Specifications to obtain the final approval for the commercial operation of the C919 aircraft.

CEA said it has selected 24 pilots with rich experience and superb skills as the first batch of C919 pilots.
