Listen in as editors at Singapore Airshow discuss Comac's starring role, the C919's prospects in today's market and what this could mean for the Airbus-Boeing duopoly.
While Riyadh Air is planning an initial narrowbody order with Boeing or Airbus, COO Peter Bellew says Comac will become "a real force to be reckoned with.”
Air China says it will be raising funds and some of the proceeds will go toward buying 17 domestically developed Comac C919 and ARJ21 regional airliners.
The plan to develop a Chinese-made airliner for high-altitude plateau flight comes just weeks after plans for a hot & high variant of the C919 was revealed.
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.
