China's first self-developed narrow-body aircraft C919 launched commercial flights between the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport by its first global customer, China Eastern Airlines on Tuesday, becoming the second regular flight for the homegrown jet operated after the one between Shanghai and Chengdu, Sichuan province.
