As the summer travel season approaches, the aviation market is getting hotter. As the world's first domestic large aircraft C919, China Eastern Airlines currently has 6 C919s and has opened 4 commercial scheduled routes, including Shanghai Hongqiao to Chengdu Tianfu, Beijing Daxing, Xi'an Xianyang, and Guangzhou Baiyun. In the 21 days from July 1 to July 21 this year, China Eastern Airlines' C919 fleet operated a total of 366 flights, transporting more than 49,000 passengers, with an average occupancy rate of 86%. Faced with the characteristics of many children and foreign passengers during the summer vacation, China Eastern Airlines' C919 flight attendants used "four precision" services and warm smiles at an altitude of 10,000 meters to start a wonderful journey with passengers traveling on domestic large aircraft.

"After entering the summer travel season, the biggest feeling is that there are more child passengers. In the past, there were only two or three at most on flights, but now there are more than ten children on almost every flight." Yu Qi, the chief flight attendant of China Eastern Airlines C919, always squats down and tries to get closer to the children whenever he meets them, hoping to give them a happy flying experience.

Since the destinations covered by the C919 route include Shanghai Disney, Beijing Universal Studios, Guangzhou Chimelong, Chengdu Giant Panda Base, Xi'an Datang City, etc., which are all places that children love to go, many children on the plane will wear various cartoon headdresses or costumes. Most of the young passengers who come to take the C919 are very excited, and many of them deliberately choose to take a ride on a domestic large aircraft. Many children will prepare flight logs and do their homework in advance, and even take the opportunity to "interview" the flight attendants and ask them very professional questions about the performance characteristics of large aircraft. Some children will also express the need to "want to visit". Yu Qi will lead the young passengers from beginning to end after the flight lands or under the premise of ensuring safety, and introduce them to the colorful lights in the cabin and the C919 exclusive brand located near the cockpit.

With the support of China's 144-hour transit visa exemption policy, there are more foreign passengers on domestic large aircraft this summer than ever before. Especially on flights to Chengdu and Xi'an, you can see many foreign tourists visiting China, many of whom bring their children to see the Terracotta Warriors and Giant Pandas and experience Chinese culture firsthand.

"They are quite curious about Chinese food and special drinks on the flight. A few days ago, a foreign passenger asked me what sour plum soup was and he was willing to try it. I told him that it tasted better with some ice. He took a sip and said to me, 'Very nice!'" Lu Qiongyan, another C919 flight attendant, was very happy to hear foreign passengers praising Chinese food.

Not only is there good interaction with passengers during the meal delivery process, many passengers will also take the initiative to share their experience of riding on a domestic large aircraft with the flight attendants when they get off the plane. "What we heard most was 'the food is exquisite' and 'the space is comfortable'."

During the summer travel season, there are many flights, many children, many special passengers, and many extreme weather conditions, which puts higher demands on the service ability, emergency response ability and physical strength of the flight attendants. The flight attendants complete every task conscientiously, growing up with the C919 step by step.
