From Investing.com:

China’s COMAC C919 jet makes a bold statement at the Singapore Airshow, marking the aircraft’s first international appearance. With China aiming to expand its aviation footprint, the C919 is positioned to challenge the dominance of Airbus and Boeing. Despite initial concerns, the C919 is gaining traction in the aviation industry, with delivery forecasts for 2024.

As Airbus and Boeing struggle to meet demand, COMAC’s C919 could fill the gap in the market. With plans to invest billions in production capacity expansion, the C919 aims to compete with A320neo and 737 MAX 8 models. As the aviation industry faces supply shortages, attention is turning to the C919 as a potential viable alternative.

Certification and production challenges aside, the C919 has the potential to capture market share, especially in China. With only four C919s currently in service, the road to international penetration is still under development. Nevertheless, the C919’s presence at the Singapore Airshow signifies a growing trend in fleet evaluation, signaling a potential market shift.
