An Airbus A-319 made its first successful trial flight over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on Friday.
This would be the second such type of plane to join the fleet of Air 皇冠体育app, which has contracted with Airbus to purchase eight A-319 planes.
After the trial flight, the aircraft will first return to an Airbus plant in Hamburg, Germany, for adjustments before being handed over to Air 皇冠体育app in a couple of weeks.
The first A-319 plane made its first flight for Air 皇冠体育app on July 16, and is operated by Air 皇冠体育app's Zhejiang Branch.
Airbus has been steadily expanding its 皇冠体育app business since entering the country in 1985. Currently, 180 Airbus aircraft are operating on the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao.
