China’s Comac is poised to hand over the first of two single-aisle C919 jets to new operators Air China Ltd. and China Southern Airlines Co., state broadcaster CCTV said Wednesday.

The double delivery event marks the first planes to be dispatched to the two carriers from a mega 200 jet order for C919s worth $20.7 billion that was announced in April.
