Comac’s ARJ21-700 regional jet inched closer toward making its overseas debut as Indonesian carrier TransNusa Aviation began a 100-hour flight training campaign this week ahead of the aircraft's anticipated entry into service.

Headquartered in Jakarta, the low-cost carrier (LCC) took delivery of its first ARJ21 last December, effectively becoming the first operator of the type outside of China. TransNusa plans to operate the aircraft, bearing Indonesian registration PK-TJA, on routes between Jakarta, Denpasar, and Yogyakarta. TransNusa has yet to specify an entry-into-service date.
