Genghis Khan Airlines launches operations

Chinese start-up carrier Genghis Khan Airlines has launched operations with the Comac ARJ21. GE Aviation – which supplies CF34-10A powerplants for the twinjet – says the Hohhot-based airline operated its first flight to Ulanhot Friday. Genghis Khan Airlines has received 2 ARJ21s and plans to operate 25 of the type by 2024, says GE, noting the carrier is the first to have an entirely Chinese-made fleet. The airline's chairman, Yutao Hao, states that Genghis Khan Airlines "shoulders the mission of exploring the industrialised development of China-made jet airliners". GE describes the CF34-10A as "ideally suited" to the ARJ21 and says that the engine "meets the demanding conditions of China's diverse environment, specifically the hot temperature and high-altitude conditions experienced on many routes”. <br/>
