Today, the domestically produced C919 and ARJ21 aircraft made their first visit to Hong Kong International Airport. To celebrate this significant event, the airport organized a water salute ceremony to welcome the planes.
Flight tracking websites indicate that the aircraft departed from Shanghai Pudong Airport at approximately 11:30 am and arrived at Hong Kong International Airport around 2 pm.
Tomorrow, the C919 and ARJ21 aircraft will receive an official welcome with a special ceremony, with Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam as the guest of honor. After their arrival, the planes will be stationed in a designated area at the airport for static display. Various representatives from the international and local aviation industry, as well as youth groups and regional organizations, will have the opportunity to visit and explore the aircraft.
Aircraft engineers emphasize that the C919 aircraft has been designed to meet rigorous international standards, surpassing even the requirements of Airbus and Boeing 737. The certification process for these aircraft involves extensive testing, including thousands of hours of test flights, emergency simulations, and assessments in extreme weather conditions. It is noteworthy that Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Department played a part in the initial research and development of the C919 aircraft, potentially paving the way for future airworthiness certification.
Moreover, the visit of these aircraft to Hong Kong is expected to generate interest and excitement among the public regarding aviation. The C919, a large commercial passenger aircraft that began operations this year, adheres to international airworthiness standards and represents a significant accomplishment for China's aviation manufacturing capabilities.
On the other hand, the ARJ21 is China's first domestically designed and manufactured turbofan regional aircraft, and it made its international debut last year.
中国C919、ARJ21飞机启程抵达香港国际机场
今天，国产C919和ARJ21飞机首飞香港国际机场。 为庆祝这一重大事件，机场举办了水礼仪式迎接飞机。

飞机工程师强调，C919飞机的设计符合严格的国际标准，甚至超越了空客和波音737的要求。这些飞机的认证过程涉及大量测试，包括数千小时的试飞、紧急模拟和评估 极端的天气条件。 值得注意的是，香港民航处参与了C919飞机的初步研发，可能为未来的适航认证铺平道路。
此外，这些飞机访问香港预计将引起公众对航空的兴趣和兴奋。 C919是今年投入运营的大型商用客机，符合国际适航标准，是中国航空制造能力的重大成就。
另一方面，ARJ21是中国第一架自行设计和制造的涡扇支线飞机，并于去年在国际上首次亮相。
