Flight MU5247 from Shanghai Hongqiao to Xiamen Gaoqi, carrying 148 passengers, slowly taxied through a water salute, a prestigious aviation tradition, marking the C919's maiden flight to Xiamen.
Starting from May 25, the C919 will be in regular service on the Shanghai-Xiamen express route, with one daily round-trip flight.
The outbound flight, MU5247, departs from Shanghai Hongqiao at 7:50 a.m. and arrives in Xiamen at 9:55 a.m.

This new service fully meets the needs of business travelers for same-day round trips and significantly improves travel efficiency between the two cities.
