China’s state-backed aircraft manufacturer Comac has come a long way since its C919 passenger plane made its first overseas flight to Singapore two years ago. Designed to compete with the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX, the aircraft is increasingly targeting markets outside of China.
Elchi.az reports that as the aviation sector struggles with delivery delays and supply chain issues, Comac is positioning itself as a potential competitor to Boeing and Airbus in the Asia-Pacific region, the world’s fastest-growing aviation market.
Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), says that Comac will eventually become a global competitor. Walsh predicts that Comac will be a significant player alongside Boeing and Airbus in the next 10-15 years.
