Comac C919

China’s decades as aviation’s fastest growth country is over for now, and it will take years for aircraft deliveries to return to previous levels.

Gallop Air Chairman Yang Qiang has signed a letter of intent with Comac to buy 15 ARJ21s and 15 C919s.

China Eastern has taken delivery of its second Comac C919, with data showing its first narrow-body airliner has clocked an average of 5.5 flying hours daily.

The move provides full clarity on the destination airlines for Hainan Airlines’ commitment for 60 C919s made in April 2023.

How China’s complicated relationship with the West could result in a permanent shift away from single-source supply chains.

The export restrictions placed by China on gallium and germanium are unlikely to cause additional defense supply bottlenecks.

The interdependence of China’s aviation sector with global suppliers means that they are likely stuck with each other, for better or worse.

The U.S. and its G7 allies could use sanctions to hobble China’s foreign-part-dependent aerospace sector in a Taiwan Strait conflict, a new report says.

The flight from Shanghai to Beijing marks completion of research, development, manufacturing, and commissioning of the Comac narrowbody.

China’s ministry of industry and information technology has given China Mobile the green light to conduct tests of 5G air to ground (5G ATG).

Hainan Airline Group has signed a framework agreement on behalf of subsidiary Urumqi Air with Comac for the Xinjiang-based carrier to add C919s.

Developed by China's AECC, the CJ-1000A has been developed as an alternate powerplant for the Comac C919 narrowbody airliner.

Aircraft deliveries to China have collapsed, and big hurdles stand in the way of a sharp rebound.

China Eastern is the launch customer of the C919 and expects to begin domestic service with the newly certified narrowbody aircraft in early 2023.

Fifteen pilots have received their Comac C919 type certification following a two-month evaluation.

This is the first FAA TSO-certified avionics component to be developed and manufactured by a company in China.

The COMAC C919 airliner attained its airworthiness certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China on Sept. 29, more than five years after first flight.

The C919’s expected entry into service before the end of 2021 has revived talk that COMAC could grab a big share of the narrowbody market in the coming years.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is still yet to begin recertifying the Boeing 737 MAX, saying that major safety concerns raised have “not been fully met.”

China Eastern Airlines will be the official launch operator of the COMAC C919 after it became the first carrier to sign a purchase agreement for five of the domestically built aircraft on March 1.

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) will reportedly hand over the first C919 narrowbody airliner to its first client by the end of 2021, according to COMAC general engineer Yang Zhigang.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has issued type inspection authorization for the COMAC C919, opening the way for certification flight testing.

COMAC and AVIC, China’s two major commercial aircraft manufacturers, are reportedly on a list of 89 Chinese companies that will face new sanctions from the White House for allegedly having ties to the Chinese military.

COMAC has reiterated its plan to achieve certification for the C919 narrowbody airliner in 2021, adding that it will try to deliver the first unit in the same year.

China Express Airlines intends to order 50 COMAC ARJ21-700 regional jets for delivery by 2025, the carrier said on Oct. 15, detailing a previously reported deal.
