My Honest Opinion. Flying the China Eastern COMAC C919 | China Aviation, Episode 2
搭乘中国东方航空的C919客机
Episode 2 of my China Aviation experience. Today I finally get to fly a true Made in China aircraft, the COMAC C919 aircraft (中國商飛 C919 / 中国商飞 C919)! It was on my bucket list since it's roll-out a couple of years ago. China Eastern Airlines (中国东方航空公司) is the first operator of this aircraft type, and in the meanwhile, Air China has also become a C919 operator, if I'm not mistaken. I got a fairly good deal in Business Class, for around 250 USD. How does it feel to fly something else than an Airbus, Boeing or Embraer?
我搭乘中国航班的经历。今天，我终于坐上了一架真正的中国国产飞机，中国商飞C919！
自从几年前推出以来，我就一直想体验下。中国东方航空公司是运营该机型的第一家航空公司。如果我没记错的话，中国国际航空公司也有了C919飞机。
我坐的是商务舱，票价很划得来，大约250美元。第一次乘坐空客、波音或巴西航空工业公司以外的飞机，感觉如何？
以下是外国网友的评论：

Wow. this is fantastic review. I am quite curious about this Chinese made aircraft. How quiet is it? Does it give you a confident feeling flying on it?
哇塞，我对这款中国制造的飞机很好奇。坐在里面多安静？你坐这个飞机的时候有信心吗？

Thank you. Sound-wise it was very comparable with the A320. And I wouldn‘t hesitate flying with the C919 again.
非常感谢。噪音方面，与A320差不多大。我下次还会毫不犹豫地乘坐C919

I would feel confident getting on a C919. I will NEVER FLY ON A Boeing 737 max
我有信心乘坐C919。以后永远不会乘坐波音737 max

Feeling confident on an prototype aircraft without any certification outside from its homecoutry while rejecting one of the most popular and safest aircraft types ever built sounds a bit like stupid to me, but it's okay, someone else will take your seat then ;)
对一架没有获得任何国外认证的原型飞机这么有信心，同时拒绝乘坐有史以来最受欢迎、最安全的飞机机型之一，听起来有点愚蠢，但没关系，你不愿意坐，别人会坐的

@johfed No outside certification is due to trade war/protectionism........yours right, Brunei kingdom has ordered 7 C919 .
没有国外适航证，是贸易战和保护主义造成的。文莱订购了7架C919

737 max washrooms are crappy
播音737max飞机的卫生间很糟糕

@xkr510 Sometimes you can get stuck or faced with a big price difference. Given the choice I would prefer not to fly in a 737 MAX but sometimes there may be no choice. Suppose you need to save money and the only fare you can afford is on Ryanair. All their planes are relatively new 737s. They also have a good safety record as an airline. Would you fly with them? I probably would. Here in Australia Virgin Australia flies all 737s. I can imagine sometimes having no choice but to fly with them.
有时你可能会陷入两难，票价差很多。如果可以选择，我宁愿不乘坐播音737 MAX，但有时可能别无选择。
假设你需要省钱，你唯一能买得起的机票是瑞安航空。他们所有的飞机都是相对较新的737。作为一家航空公司，他们也有良好的安全记录。你愿意乘坐吗？我可能会愿意。在澳大利亚，维珍澳大利亚航空公司运营的飞机都是波音737。
可以想象，有时别无选择，只能和他们一起飞行。

Yes I am very scared of Boeing 737 max after so many bad incidents happened in the last few years
是的，过去几年发生了这么多不良事故之后，我非常害怕乘坐波音737 max

@johfed its not certified because US and EU want to keep Boeing, Airbus duopoly
C919没有拿到适航证，美国和欧盟希望保持波音和空客的双寡头地位

This plane is a big deal despite what westerners. The billions that Chinese airlines previously spent with Boeing and Airbus is going to stay in China. And it's a competitive 3rd option for other countries in the global south
不管西方人怎么看，这架飞机是了不起的。中国航空公司之前用来购买波音和空客飞机的数十亿美元资金，会留在中国。全球南方国家，C919也是一个有竞争力的第三选择

Lol, I was taking a 737 max from LA to Montreal and praying the whole trip. I survived!! On my flight to NY, it was originally 737 max but was changed to 320 in the last week before departure.
哈哈，我坐波音737 max从洛杉矶到蒙特利尔，全程都在祈祷。我活下来了！！飞往纽约的航班，原本是波音737 max，但在出发前的最后一周改为空客320。

@johfed Because the C919 is not manufactured by Indian engineers and Indian workers, it is evident that Chinese engineers and Chinese workers have significantly increased the safety rate.
C919不是由印度工程师和印度工人制造的，很明显，中国工程师和中国工人显著提高了安全率。

@johfed Huawei is banned in theUS and west Europe, because it is the best 5G Vendor in the world which makes the politicians pissed off.
华为在美国和西欧被禁，因为它是世界上最优秀的5G供应商，西方政客们很生气。

China Eastern not hiding its national pride at flying the first C919. Very good flight. I hope they will soon get certified to fly internationally. Perhaps we might see them in Australia.
中国东方航空运营首架C919，毫不掩饰其民族自豪感。飞得很好。希望他们很快就能获得国际适航证。也许我们可以在澳大利亚看到C919

Both US and EU are unlikely to certify it due to political reasons, but there are countries starting to recognise CAAC certification, recently an airline in Brunei, one of wealthiest Asian countries, ordered both C919 and ARJ-21, 15 each.
由于政治原因，美国和欧盟都不太可能发放C919的适航证。不过有些国家开始承认中国民用航空局的认证，最近文莱的一家航空公司订购了C919和ARJ-21，各15架。文莱是亚洲最富裕的国家之一。
rais1953
@joseph_wei There are also reasons why they might certify it. Both the US and the EU still want to sell aircraft to Chinese airlines.
他们可能会发放适航证的。美国和欧盟仍希望向中国航空公司出售飞机。
marcmcreynolds2827
@joseph_wei "Both US and EU are unlikely to certify it due to political reasons" The FAA already has a signed agreement with CAAC for cross-certification of airliners. The PRC has stated that they do not wish to invoke the agreement at this time.
“由于政治原因，美国和欧盟都不太可能发放C919的适航证。”
美国联邦航空局已经与中国民用航空局签署了一项关于客机交叉认证的协议。

@marcmcreynolds2827 It may be that they feel it needs to prove its reliability before being brought to the west. Can you imagine the negative press that any issues would get in the west simply owing to the fact that it's a Chinese aircraft?
他们可能觉得，在让C919飞到西方国家之前，需要证明其可靠性。这是一架中国飞机，一旦出现负面新闻，你能想象西方媒体会怎么炒作吗？

I am from China. What I want to say is that if C919 can reach the level of Airbus A320, it is a preliminary success! The greater test comes from after-sales maintenance! No matter how good the aircraft is, if it is neglected in maintenance, it will fail! I hope that the parts from Europe will not be cut off like ASML! I also hope that the world will be peaceful and there will be no war!
我来自中国。我想说的是，如果C919能够达到空客A320的水平，那算是初步的成功！更大的考验来自售后维护！无论飞机有多好，如果维修疏忽，都会失败！我希望欧洲零件不会像ASML那样断供！我也希望世界和平，没有战争！

You are talking about Made in China 1.0, now we are into Made in China 3.0
你说的是中国制造1.0，现在我们进入了中国制造3.0

A lot of these European and American suppliers do have factories and partners in China - and the same folks supplying Airbus and Boeing for decades.
In parallel, there are also Chinese ones in the supply chain where they also do business with Airbus and Boeing.
All talks about “wars” and “de-couplings” are mere noises and empty rhetorics.
Let trade do the talking.
许多欧洲和美国的供应商确实在中国有工厂和合作伙伴，几十年来一直为空客和波音提供服务。
与此同时，在供应链中也有中国企业与空客和波音密切合作
所有关于“战争”和“脱钩”的讨论都只是炒作
让贸易来说话。

C919 looks very nice
C919看起来很不错啊

Thank you for trusting C919 for your internal flight in China! We now have to see how widespread this airplane will succeed in foreign markets! Bravo!
感谢您信任C919，在中国国内坐C919！不知道该飞机在国外市场会有多成功，拭目以待！好极了！

I wish the C919 good success and a healthy market penetration
祝愿C919取得圆满成功，健康的市场竞争

Not many knew that C919 flied to Vietnam for demonstration and currencly negotiates with Vietjet (Vietnam) to have commercial C919 flight between China/Vietnam.
很多人不知道C919飞往越南进行飞行表演，并正在与（越南）越捷航空谈判在中国和越南之间开通C919商业航班。
