China's first jet aircraft ARJ21-700 for regional and international flights is entering scheduled commercial revenue service on 30 June 2016.

On 30 June 2016, the first ARJ21-700 revenue flight under EU6679 departs from Chengdu for Shanghai-Hongqiao at 9.10 am, arrives in Shanghai-Hongqiao at 11.50 am before leaving Hongqiao at 1.10 pm and arriving in Chengdu at 4.25 pm under flight EU6680. The flights are operated by Chengdu Airlines.

Chengdu Airlines has organized an official ceremonial charter ARJ21-700 flight to Shanghai-Hongqiao on 28 June 2016 to show that the aircraft is as competent as the Boeing B737-800 and Airbus A320 aircraft. The airline plans to deploy the aircraft on other domestic routes from Chengdu in the near future.
