国产雄鹰的坚实航迹|国航C919商业运营一周年记
The steady path to "the domestic eagle" -- The first anniversary of the commercial operation of COMAC C919
2025年9月10日,国航C919安全运行迎来一周年里程碑。从最初的单机启航到如今的5机编队,从京沪一线到连通全国7座枢纽城市,累计安全飞行8000余小时,运送旅客41万余人次……这份亮眼的“周岁答卷”,铭刻着中航人的责任担当,更是各单位同心勠力、创新开拓的奋斗篇章。
On September 10, 2025, COMAC C919 ushered in the first anniversary of its operational safety, which accumulated more than 8,000 hours of safe flight and transported more than 410,000 passengers. During this year, the initial single-plane sailing has become five-plane formation, and the air route has been developing from Beijing-Shanghai flight to the round-trip flight of seven hub cities in China. The year's dazzling accomplisments has reflected the responsibility of AVIC people with its concerted, innovative and pioneering efforts.
挑战:引擎轰鸣 在摸索中砥砺前行
To cope with Challenges: Forging ahead amid groping
2024年8月29日,国航首架C919飞抵北京的那一幕,Ameco国产飞机中队队长孙磊至今历历在目:“机坪上格外热闹,大家齐聚一堂,迎接第一架载国旗国产大飞机。”然而,对飞行员和保障团队而言,兴奋之外,是沉甸甸的使命和前所未有的挑战。
Sun Lei is the captain of Ameco's domestic aircraft squadron, he still remembers the impressive sight when Air China's first C919 flew to Beijing on August 29, 2024, "everyone gathered in the apron with excitement to welcome the first domestic large aircraft with national flag." However, there are still the heavy missions and unprecedented challenges for pilots and support teams.
“经验空白”是大家的共同难题,“摸着石头过河”是他们的唯一选择也是必经之路。
Experience is a common problem for everyone, therefore "wading across the stream by feeling the way" is their only choice and the only way to cope with this problem.
“如何驾驭好新鹰”是首要课题。飞行总队将C919的安全运行和机队发展与集团公司战略部署、国家航空工业发展蓝图紧密关联,专门成立国产机型七大队,选拔精兵强将参加改装训练。飞行员怀着对国产飞机的深厚情怀刻苦钻研。这架凝聚着中国智慧的大飞机,其操作逻辑与传统机型差异显著。尽管全体人员在商飞接受了系统的初阶训练,但大家深知必须通过理论消化—思考沉淀—实践验证的深度磨合,才能真正驾驭它。团队细致分析每次飞行数据、反复比对,组织“最佳起落比武”提炼最优操作,凝结成飞行宝典——《C919航线运行指南》。独特的“教员责任制”也应运而生:每位教员专攻一个核心系统,淬炼精品课程,分享真知灼见。这些扎实的积累,筑起了安全飞行的基石。
The flight control of the new airplane is the primary topic. Hence, the flight crops of Air China specially set up seven flight groups of domestic aircraft models and selected elite pilots to participate in modification training, which can closely linked the operational safety and fleet development of C919 with the strategic deployment from group company and the blueprint for national aviation industry development. The pilots had studied hard with deep feelings for domestic aircraft. In addition, this large aircraft, which embodied Chinese wisdon, has significantly different operational logic compared to traditional aircraft. Although the staff have received systematic initial training at COMAC, the flight should be controlled with integrity of theory and practice. In addition to careful analysis and repeated comparison of flight data, the "best take-off and landing competition" is also carried out by flight crops to refine the optimal operation, which can gather the flight experiences to the flight guide-"C919 Air Route Operation Guide". A unique "teacher responsibility system" also came into being, which means each teacher specializes in a core system to improve quality of excellent courses and share insights. What we have done is the cornerstone of flight safety.
紧随其后的是无缝接力的“硬核保障”。飞机落地,重任便落到Ameco机务人员肩上。“每一个问题都是新问题,不少是业内‘首次实施’。”孙磊带领团队,事无巨细地记录每一次关键保障和重要排故案例,构建宝贵的经验库;创新推出“航前精准检查+航后深度维护+周检系统排查”三级保障模式,建立起一道坚固的防护墙。这套高效组合拳助力飞机日利用率稳步升至超过8小时,展现出超越同级新引进机型的运行韧性。
The following problem is the "hard core guarantee" of the aircraft. Ameco crew have the heavy responsibility for the maintanance of the aircraft when it landed. "Every problem is new, and many of them are 'implemented for the first time' in the industry." Sun Lei has recorded every key guarantee case and important troubleshooting in detail and build a valuable experience database with his team, which Innovatively launched a three-level guarantee model -- precise inspection before flight, in-depth maintenance after flight, and weekly system inspection. It is also establish a solid protective wall for the aircraft. With the help of this high-efficiency methods, the aircraft daily utilization has steadly increased to more than 8 hours, demonstrating the operational toughness compared to the new aircraft at the same level.
高效运行的背后,离不开中国商飞的强力协同。一年间,Ameco国产飞机中队与商飞团队召开35次工作例会,搭建起即时的沟通桥梁。总队七大队安全副大队长田科对此也深有感触:“这就是国产制造的独特优势。我们的重要问题,5分钟就能直达设计师,这种响应在波音空客方面是不可想象的。”
It is the effective coordination of COMAC that makes efficient operation possible. 35 regular working meetings of Ameco's domestic aircraft squadron and COMAC in this year has played a role of bridge to instant communication. Tian Ke, deputy director for safety of the Seventh Brigade of the Corps, was also deeply impressed by this, "This is the unique advantage of domestic manufacturing. Our important problem can reach the designer directly in 5 minutes, which is unimaginable speed for Boeing and Airbus."
而市场的成功启航,同样至关重要。“航线怎么选?目标旅客是谁?”团队反复斟酌、慎之又慎。最终,他们将目光锁定在北京飞往上海虹桥、杭州、成都、重庆等商务客流密集的高品质航线,并精心安排航班在宝贵的早晚高峰时刻。国航商务委员会网络收益部基地布局规划经理文雯道出其中深意:“一是立足大型基地航站,确保最强的维护保障能力;二是服务国家战略,以C919为纽带,强化国航北京枢纽,聚拢客流,联通全球航线网络;三是精准聚焦高端商务市场,发挥自身优势。”这份运营策略,尽显精准与高效。
The success of the market is essencial as well. The team repeatedly considered and cautious about the air route and the target passengers. They finally set the sights on high-quality routes with intensive passenger flow from Beijing to Shanghai Hongqiao, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and others in China, and specially arranged flights in morning and evening rush hour. Wen Wen, the base layout planning manager of the Network Revenue Department of Air China Business Committee, expressed the profound meaning: "First, we can ensure the maximun efforts to maintenance and supportability based on large base terminals. Second, C919 has played the role of bond to strengthen Air China's hub in Beijing, gather passenger flow, and connect the global route network under the guidance of national strategy. Third, we will focused on the high-end business market accurately and give full play to our own advantages." This is the operation strategy with precision and efficiency.
蜕变:规模渐成 能力提升直面新考
Transformation: Facing new tests with increasing scale and improving ability
2025年,随着第三、四、五架C919相继入列,机队规模增长带来了新的复杂性与更高要求。
In 2025, the grouth of the C919 fleet brought about the new complexity and higher requirements when the third, fourth and fifth COMAC C919 had been providing the services one after another.
七大队以体系化建设夯基固本。从《C919航线运行指南》到《作风管理细则》,25项覆盖安全、训练、行政的关键制度与流程逐一落地,建立起规范化的运行体系。更深层面上,团队将凝聚力和战斗力归功于深入人心的“三心”文化:助力国产大飞机发展的拳拳初心,面对大飞机发展需要时间沉淀、持续改进的坚韧恒心,像匠人一样钻研技术吃透系统的精湛匠心。
The Seventh Brigade has built up and consolidated the solid foundation with systematic construction. The C919 Air Route Operation Guide and the Detailed Rules for Style Management has , established a standardized operation system and stipulated 25 key systems and processes covering safety, training and administration, which should be implemented one by one. In spiritual, the team attributes their cohesion and forces to the impressive "three hearts" culture: the original intention of helping domestic large aircraft development, the tenacity and perseverance of continuous improvement and the exquisite ingenuity of studying technology.
市场的热烈回应带来了持续动力。随着暑期高峰与新机运力的释放,商委及时加密骨干航线,市场的反响令人欣喜:C919执飞航班平均客座率高于同期同航线其他机型。文雯自豪地分享:“这说明旅客对国航C919航班十分认可,主动选择国产大飞机的人越来越多。”更打动人心的是旅客真诚的反馈:有“飞友”为体验C919特意调整行程,还收集限定杯垫留念;有退休工程师在航班结束后专程等待机组致谢;有国际旅客在社交媒体上盛赞体验……廊桥上,频繁可见聚焦C919的镜头;驾驶舱内,机组人员也能感受到旅客的炽热目光,激励他们飞得更稳更好。
The continued momentum has been brought by the enthusiastic response from the market. The Commercial Committee timely increased the key flight frequency in summer peak when the capacity of new aircraft released. Fortunately, the market response was gratifying, the C919 achieved a higher average load factor than competing aircraft on the same route during the period. "This shows that COMAC C919 flight was undoubtedly supported by most of the passengers, the domestic large aircraft is not the exception as well." Wen Wen said with proudness. What is even more touching is the sincere feedback from passengers, for example, some passengers with flight enthusiasm adjusted their itinerary specially to enjoy C919 flight and collect limited coasters as souvenirs, the retired engineers made a special trip just to wait for the acknowledgement by flight crew after the flight, and some international tourists praised the experience on social media. It can be seen that passengers take photos of the C919 from the boarding bridge, the flight crew in cockpit can also feel the support from the passengers, encouraging them to fly more steadily and better.
致远:同心协力 航向更广阔天宇
Ambition: Working together for a wider sky
一周岁,是成长的重要坐标,更是未来航程的全新出发点。七大队规模已逾百人,成立了两个中队,管理日趋精细,但他们清醒地认识到:“主干初成,未来的枝繁叶茂更需精心打磨。”面对不断注入的新鲜血液,大队以高度的责任心构建起“扶上马送一程”的无缝衔接机制:飞行员改装前,所属单位干部亲自送行并详细介绍人员特点;入队后,大队立即建立“一人一档”成长档案,从技术精进到心理适应全程跟踪,确保每名飞行员在清晰的成长路径中稳步前行。
The first anniversary is an important moment for growth and a new beginning of the future flight. The current Seventh Brigade has two squadrons with more than 100 staff, and the management is becoming increasingly improved. However, the brigade is soberly aware that "The devil is in the details." Against the backdrop of fresh blood employment and cultivation, the brigade has built a seamless connection mechanism with a high sense of responsibility. Specifically, the cadres of them should see them off and introduce the characteristics of the personnel in detail before the training; When joining the team, the brigade immediately established a personnel growth file for everyone and tracked the whole process of technical improvement and psychological adaptation to ensure that each pilot has a clear growth path and move forward steadily.
国产飞机中队已前瞻性地规划更大规模机队的保障蓝图,商委的目光已投射到更远方:积极筹划北京—香港航线,开拓地区/国际市场,为国产大飞机铺就更广阔的天空。
The domestic aircraft squadron has proactively planned a blueprint for larger team scale in advance, and the Commercial Committee has been carrying out the future plan, Including actively planning the air route from Beijing to Hong Kong , exploring regional and international markets, and seeking more chances for domestic large aircraft.
国航C919首年安全运行的成就,绝非某单一部门的独奏。这首高歌是庞大交响乐团协作的华彩乐章:签派中心精准策划每次起降,运筹于帷幄之中;乘务组以热情专业的客舱服务,细心呵护云端旅途,成为传递国产飞机形象的“流动名片”;地面服务高效保障,确保每一环节顺畅衔接……无数身处不同岗位、默默无闻的中航人,如同紧密咬合的齿轮,用专业与奉献共同托举着大国重器翱翔天宇。
The achievement of COMAC C919 operational safety in the first year is by no means the contribution of a single department, it is the orderly and effective operation with all the staff. For example, the dispatch center accurately plans every take-off and landing with orderly operation, the flight attendances provide professional cabin services for the passengers with enthusiastic during the flight journey, making a profound impression in domestic aircraft, and the efficient ground service guarantee ensures the smooth connection of every link. The countless unknown AVIC people in different positions jointly engaged in the flying of domestic large airplane with professionalism and dedication, just like meshing gear.
365天,每一个航班的平安起落,每一分钟的安全累积,都凝结着全体中航人对职责的敬畏、对卓越的追求和对国产民机事业的赤诚之心。这份坚持与奋斗,已深深融入C919翱翔云端时的每一道轨迹,汇入中国民用航空事业奋勇前行的时代洪流。
365 days of safe take-offs and landings, across every flight and every minute, embody AVIC personnel's reverence for safety, dedication to excellence, and unwavering commitment to domestic aviation. This persistence and struggle have been deeply integrated into every flight of the C919 when it soars in the clouds, and merged into the moments when China's civil aviation industry is forging ahead bravely.
