Hongkongers Gather To Watch China’s Home-Grown C919 Jet Soar Over City

China's domestically developed C919 aircraft, crafted by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), took its inaugural international flight over Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. Soaring from Hong Kong International Airport, the narrow-body passenger jet aims to compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. With a capacity of 158 to 192 passengers and a range of 5,555 kilometers (3,452 miles), the C919 targets medium-haul flights. Spectators, aviation enthusiasts, and media gathered to witness this milestone in China's aviation industry.
