The South Korean parliament, allowing only modest funding for preliminary KF-X work, has kept open the possibility of economizing by replacing an indigenous KF-X design with the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet or an advanced development of that type.
The move will put competitive pressure on the Guangzhou city government, on which 9 Air relies for political support when seeking route rights. If permitted by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the second base also would give 9 Air an alternative path for development should its Guangzhou-centered strategy falter.
