China's home-made C919 aircraft arrived back in Shanghai on Monday, after making its debut at the Singapore Airshow.

The plane arrived in Singapore on February 17 together with another C919 and three ARJ21 aircraft.

China Eastern Airlines said the C919 was on static display for the public during the air show.

During the six-day show, the booth welcomed more than 20 groups of visitors per day, said Hu Hong, cabin manager of China Eastern Airlines' cabin department. She said that the visitors included heads and senior professionals from aircraft manufacturers, aviation service providers, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the aviation industry chain.

They were very interested in asking about every detail in the cabin, especially the C919's cabin layout, number of passengers, commercial routes, operating data and routes to be opened in the future, Hu said.

China's Tibet Airlines and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China signed a deal at the airshow for 50 aircraft suitable for high-altitude plateaus - 40 C919 and 10 ARJ21 jets.
