Xinhou-600 aircraft.
The first Xinzhou-600, developed by Xi'an Aircraft Industry Company (XAC) of China Aviation Industry Corporation I, (AVIC I), was delivered to use in Xi'an, capital of northwestern China's Shaanxi Province.
It will be used for teaching and training, according to China National Radio on Friday.
The new-generation short haul passenger aircraft was developed by China starting in 2005, and completed its successful maiden flight in October 2008. It received a manufacturing license in December 2010 and got the green light for mass production.
The turboprop aircraft was a new version of the Xinzhou-60, which can carry 50 to 60 passengers. The Xinzhou-600 has been updated with a more comfortable cabin and better designed body structure and maintenance system.
During the eighth Zhuhai Airshow, Laos ordered 600 Xinzhou-600.
