An ARJ21 aircraft, China's self-developed regional jetliner, prepares to take off at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, May 31, 2024.
(ECNS) -- An ARJ21 aircraft, China's self-developed regional jetliner, arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia on Friday, achieving the country's first overseas lease with the RMB settlement, according to China Aircraft Leasing Co.(CALC).
The aircraft was delivered to Indonesia's TransNusa via financial leasing tools. CALC adopts the Chinese yuan on transactions for both the procurement and llease.
The ARJ21, the third of its kind in Indonesia, will serve on the eastern route of TransNusa's flight network with another two ARJ21 to optimize services. With the latest navigation technology, the flight safety of the aircraft is further guaranteed.
TransNusa is the first overseas airline flying the ARJ21 aircraft, which has been operating smoothly in Indonesia for one year since its maiden flight in April 2023.
