On August 9, 2024, Air China’s first C919 passenger aircraft conducted its inaugural test flight. The aircraft, temporarily registered as B-002M, is scheduled for delivery to Air China by the end of August.

Air China had previously revealed the cabin configuration of its C919 aircraft, featuring a spacious 158-seat, two-class layout that includes 8 business class seats and 150 economy class seats. This represents the most spacious cabin configuration known for the C919.

During a speech at the 2024 China Unicom Partner Conference, He Dongfeng, Chairman of COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China), stated that China's large aircraft industry is entering a new phase. He highlighted that the C919 will be delivered to Air China, China Southern Airlines, and other customers in the second half of this year, with ongoing efforts to enhance production capacity.

On April 26, 2024, Air China signed a contract with COMAC for 100 C919 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled between 2024 and 2031.
