The C919, China's first large narrowbody passenger jet, completed its inaugural flight in May 2023 after 15 years of development, marking a significant achievement.
With over 1,000 orders secured, primarily from Chinese airlines, COMAC is determined to break the Airbus-Boeing duopoly and has engaged in talks with Western carriers.
China Eastern Airlines operates the C919, featuring custom-designed inflight interiors with 8 business and 156 economy seats, indicating ambitions for long-haul competitiveness.
COMAC has made inroads by exploring international markets, with reports of talks to potentially sell the C919 to Brazilian carriers, seizing opportunities amid Western supply chain issues.
