The C919, China's first domestically developed large passenger jet developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, will embark on its first commercial flight on May 28, according to China Eastern Airlines.

The flight, MU 9191, will depart Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport for Beijing Capital International Airport. The flight duration will be about two hours and 25 minutes.
