Looking at commercial aircraft deliveries in May from manufacturers beyond Airbus and Boeing shows that Comac handed over the highest number of aircraft to customers.
China's Comac has provided an update on its airliner programs at the Paris Air Show, laying out a timeline for new narrowbody developments and future widebodies.
The Comac C919 may receive its European certification in 3-6 years, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Executive Director Florian Guillermet said.
Beijing has chosen to exempt some aircraft parts from import tariffs introduced as part of the escalated trade conflict with the U.S. according to Safran's CEO.
Comac has told suppliers to its C919 narrowbody program to prepare for a rate increase from the initial 50 aircraft target to 75, as it works to fulfill its current backlog.
More than two decades after Boeing launched development of its last clean sheet aircraft, a new survey of airlines, lessors, manufacturers, component suppliers and MRO providers reveals a high degree of interest in a next-generation narrowbody that Embraer has been studying for some time.
China Eastern Airlines has introduced daily Comac C919 flights between Shanghai and Hong Kong, marking the aircraft’s first operation outside mainland China.
Comac has signed agreements with the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) and MRO provider HAECO to support the operation of the C919 narrowbody in Hong Kong.
Comac has opened an Asia-Pacific office in Singapore as part of the Chinese aircraft manufacturer’s move to penetrate the market in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Comac C919 and ARJ21 aircraft are currently stationed at Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA) in Tibet to conduct high-altitude testing and R&D for the plateau variant.
Comac delivered Air China’s and China Southern Airlines’ first C919s in a combined ceremony, marking the airliner's expansion to all three state-owned carriers.
