China celebrates maiden international flight of home-grown ARJ21 jetliner
The Manado-Guangzhou flights will land in Guangzhou at about 10:55 pm every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Guangzhou-Manado flights will depart from Baiyun Airport at 12:05 am every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
At the end of November, the route will increase to seven round-trip flights a week, all using ARJ21 jets.
Liu Wanting, president of China Aircraft Leasing Group and Chinese chairman of TransNusa Airline, said one of TransNusa's long-term development strategies is to increase the number of ARJ21 international flights in an orderly manner.
"The use of domestically produced ARJ21 aircraft by TransNusa Airlines is not only another milestone for domestic aircraft but also a milestone for the commercial operation of domestic civil aircraft overseas," said Liu.
