HAIKOU, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- China's C919 large passenger jet landed at an airport in Haikou on Monday, as a part of its 100-hour aircraft validation flight process.
The C919 is China's first homegrown large jetliner.
The first such aircraft was delivered to China Eastern Airlines last month.
The C919 started its airline validation flight in late December.
The testing process will comprehensively verify the reliability of the C919 with commercial operation in mind -- with the aim of ensuring its safety and efficiency.
The validation flight will last until mid-February and the aircraft is expected to be put into commercial operation by China Eastern Airlines in the spring of this year.
