The Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines, one of the three major State-owned Chinese airlines, will become the first to take delivery of the homemade single-aisle passenger jet C919, domestic plane-maker Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) revealed last Tuesday.
我国飞机制造商中国商飞公司上周二透露，三大国有航空公司之一、总部位于上海的东方航空公司将成为国产单通道客机C919的首个交付用户。
If everything goes right, the first test flight of the 168-seat C919 is expected to be conducted by the end of the year, and conservatively speaking, it could be in early 2017, COMAC said.
商飞公司称，如果一切顺利，168座的C919客机将在今年年底进行首次试飞，保守一点的话也会在明年年初完成首次试飞。

Within one year of the test flight, COMAC and China Eastern will start discussions on the purchase of five C919 aircraft.

So far, COMAC has received over 570 orders of C919 from 23 customers.

除了东方航空公司之外，该飞机制造商也获得了一系列的租赁公司的承诺，其中包括与中信金融租赁有限公司签署36架飞机的协议、与浦发银行金融租赁签署20架飞机的协议。
Apart from the C919, COMAC is also pushing sales of its Advanced Regional Jet ARJ21.
