Air Cambodia has placed an order for 20 Comac C909 regional jets, becoming the first international flag carrier to commit to the Chinese-built aircraft.
ATR, Comac and Embraer collectively delivered more airliners in the first half of 2026 than they did during the same period of 2025, but the performance of the airframers was not uniform.
China’s promise to buy 200 Boeing aircraft at the recent diplomatic summit meeting in Beijing was “a major accomplishment” and will lead to larger orders in future says Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg.
The CEO of Austrian aerospace supplier FACC says Comac is increasingly asking FACC for more parts this year to support the Chinese airframer's ramp-up.
Indonesian carrier TransNusa says it is satisfied with the performance of its five Comac C909 regional jets, highlighting strong support from the Chinese OEM.
Comac has secured a letter of intent from Shanxi Victory General Aircraft covering three firm orders and three options for the firefighting variant of the C909.
China’s Muyutian Aviation Technology, also known as MuYu Sky, has completed a payload test flight with its AT1300 hybrid-electric VTOL uncrewed cargo aircraft.
The shortened variant of the Comac C919, designated the C919-600, has broken cover, with photographers capturing the aircraft at Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG).
The Laotian government has agreed to sell a 49% stake in Lao Airlines to China’s Comac.; the state will retain the remaining 51% share of the flag carrier.
Beyond Airbus and Boeing, only Embraer is progressing in terms of ramping up deliveries, with both ATR and Comac set for an underwhelming performance for 2025.
