The passenger plane features a three -class layout with 164 seats and is scheduled to fly its maiden commercial flight from Guangzhou to Shanghai on September 19th.
In April, China Southern signed a deal to buy 100 C9 -19 aircraft from the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, the deliveries are scheduled to last till 2031.
China Southern and Air China have both received their first C919 aircraft aircraft in Shanghai.
Marking a pivotal moment as the country's first domestically produced large passenger aircraft enters a phase of multi -operator deployment.
To date, nine C919 aircraft have been delivered, all to three leading Chinese airlines.

Sun Qianqin, the project manager, highlighted that the term museum park was chosen to emphasize the openness of this space, bringing cultural relics closer to visitors.
After exploring the exhibits, visitors tend to head upstairs to dine, shop, and immerse themselves in Han -style life.
They get to enjoy desserts in cups inspired by unearthed lacquerware in Ma Wan Dui, sample -steamed Han Dynasty delicacies, and select souvenirs infused with western Han elements, all providing a glimpse into life over 2000 years ago.
The Museum Park features five dining brands, each dedicated to the Han dynasty or Hunan's local culture, as well as a new cultural and creative retail space called the Han Life Museum Collection.
A tourist surnamed Zhao traveled from northwest China's Xi 'an to the museum.
Ciao said that he was fascinated after being told that the steamed dishes were a part of Hunan cuisine during the Western Han dynasty, and the dishes he enjoyed were modern innovations inspired by the recipes unearthed at Ma Wang Dui.
In the Han Life Museum collection, visitors are drawn to an array of creative cultural products that capture the essence of Han Dynasty life.
These include prints by young artists featuring elements from cultural relics, Hunan spicy strips shaped like lacquer plates, and incense threads crafted based on Mao Wang Dui's health prescriptions.
T they product manager of the shopping venue said that they categorize the cultural relics unearthed at Ma Wang Dui into seven dimensions, including clothing, food, housing, as well as transportation, utilities, art, and entertainment.
After selecting relevant elements, they collaborated with creative teams to develop products that closely connect with people's daily lives.
Chinese researchers have unveiled a series of technological methods based on a 6 -year humidity in site museums, creating a more suitable preservation environment for cultural relics.
The program was carried out at the Da D1 site, a Neolithic site dated approximately 8 ,000 to 4 ,800 years ago in Qing 'an county in northwest China's Gansu province.
The iconic F -901 site boasting a history of over 5000 years and covering an area of 420 20 square meters is the largest and most intricately crafted large -scale housing structure from China's prehistoric era.
Early renovation efforts incorporating a sealed glass curtain wall led to a continuous rise in relative humidity within the site, triggering outbreaks of microbial diseases.
Researchers conducted on -site real -time environmental monitoring and numerical simulation to assess the ventilation effectiveness and relative humidity changes before and after multiple interior modifications of the F -901 site.
The results indicate that the fully enclosed glass curtain wall can suppress the dependence of indoor humidity fluctuations on external weather fluctuations but has generated unintended consequences, leading to increased air relative humidity capacity, and even reaching saturation, in the museum space.
The deployment of louvered windows and ducked fans proved effective in enhancing internal airflow dynamics and overall air exchange capacity.
researcher Liu Benlii said that this study is of great significance for alleviating the deterioration problem of enclosed exhibition halls of earthen relics.
The study has been published in the International Journal, Heritage Science, and involved researchers from Dunhuang Academy and the Northwest Institute of Ecoenvironment and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It's that time of the year again in the Northern Hemisphere, when leaves began to fall from the trees, onto the yellowing grass below.
Yes, autumn is here.
Autumn or fall to some means a decrease in rainfall, dry air and ripening crops.
The colours of maple leaf, red and yellow will soon be scattered all around us.
It is particularly worth celebrating the coming of autumn today.
Do you love the autumn?
There is nothing cozier than walking with the cool air rolling in with a fresh smell.
But I know that many may feel a sense of nostalgia or sadness during the transition from summer to winter each year.
It makes sense though, as the falling leaves and grey daylight, they remind you that all All things are about to come to an end and the coldest and darkest season is on its way.
If you have experienced other stronger symptoms, there is a scientific explanation to this fuzzy bothering emotion, seasonal affective disorder, or SAD for short.
It is a type of depression related to the changes in seasons that usually arise during the autumn and winter months.
In many works of literature, while spring represents hope, autumn is usually described as a mirthless or even desperate season.
However, what if I tell you that the season does not have to be nostalgic, and there is a totally different perspective to interpret it.
During ancient China's Tang Dynasty, more than one thousand years ago, there was a poet named Liao Yuxi.
In his eyes, autumn was inspiring rather than mirthless.
he wrote a poem titled Kyoul Tzu, which can be literally translated into English as the Song of Autumn, in which he shared his alternative view of the season.
Let me share the poem with you now.
Since olden days, autumn has brought sadness and drear, but I say spring cannot compete with autumn.
On a fine day, a crane cleaves the clouds and soars high.
It leads my lofty mind to azure sky.
How does this short poem make you feel?
The poet believed that autumn days are even better than spring.
He saw a crane flying hard toward the sky.
Thus he felt encouraged.
In fact, the poet Lyol Uxi was not only talking about autumn here, he also showed his positive and generous perspective on the ups and downs of life.
You may be even more impressed after you learn about his life experiences.
Liu Youxi used to be an official during the reign of Emperor Chun Zhong.
and he worked under two ambitious reformers who were entrusted by the emperor.
Though the reforming party had conducted many progressive policies and measures, they violated the interest of powerful eunuchs and bureaucrats at that time.
Therefore, the reforms quickly failed, leading to Emperor Sun -jong being forced to abdicate in favour of his son.
As a result, Liu Yuxi was banished for the following two decades.
However, in most of his poems and works, he expresses a generous and positive attitude, yet seldom shows desperate feelings.
It is a little wonder that he could interpret autumn from such a different perspective.
I guess it's a similar approach to French philosopher Albert Camus who once said, Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
I hope you have been inspired by this positive view of life.
Life. This is Special English.
That's the end of this edition of Special English.
To recap, I'm going to read one of the news items again, at normal speed.
Please listen carefully.
