China's first home-grown airliner is seeking its first Western buyer as it takes advantage of Airbus and Boeing delays. Meet the Comac C919.
Briefly

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.
