China’s latest homemade passenger plane, the MA600, was put into use Saturday at a civil aviation training base in Sichuan province, Xinhua has reported. The short-haul turboprop aircraft was delivered in December 2010 to the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) by its manufacturer, the Xi’an Aircraft International Corporation (XAIC). The MA600 is an upgraded version of the company’s MA60 aircraft and can carry up to 60 passengers. XAIC has received 16 orders for the plane, and is already developing its successor, the MA700.
