China Eastern Airlines (CEA) has received its seventh domestically developed C919 passenger plane from the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China on Monday in Shanghai.

The delivery was completed in a short flight from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. The plane, coded B-919H, is the third C919 aircraft received by CEA this year.
