At 10.10 am on 27 November 2020, China Express's first ARJ21 aircraft landed smoothly at Yan'an Airport after taking off at 8.30 am from Chongqing. It marks the successful maiden flight of the first domestic passenger plane introduced by China Express. The aircraft continues its second domestic flight from Yan'an to Taiyuan on the same day.

On 10 November 2020, China Expres receives its  first domestically-produced aircraft ARJ21 in Chongqing Jiangbei Airport. Since then, after 50 hours of non-passenger verification flights, it has exceeded the time required by CAAC for the introduction of new aircraft without passenger verification by relevant airlines. 

From the verification flight results, China Express' ARJ21 fully meets the requirements of passenger flight.
