China's COMAC is ready to deliver 50 aircraft this year

[@PhilipTan-i1u]

Wow Comac will deliver 50 C919 this year. The current C919 fleet has already been flying thousands passengers in China. Boeing's 737max is now being phased out and replaced by C919. China's travel market is expanding rapidly and Comac's future is secured as China air has become the launching customer for its wide body C929 aircraft. Comac has come into the civil aviation industry to stay and expand to take away Boeing's and airbus' market share world wide.

[@taiwanstillisntacountry]

The USA not given licence to Comac, to fly to USA. Now worries, Africa, West Asia, Latin America, Europe and South East Asia markets are big enough.

[@SengpoSatbang]

China can block Boeing too by canceling its license to fly to China.

[@josephguo6256]

de-dol = decoup, no more flight to US.

[@mossmusap338]

And so also for Africa to block American airlines​@@SengpoSatbang

[@ZweiZwolf]

FAA/CAA reciprocity means that CAA certification automatically allows US (and EU flights). Comac simply doesn't make enough planes for it to matter at this time.

[@peggandwhiskey]

Those countries use FAA/EASA certification.

[@ZweiZwolf]

50 aircraft in a year is not a lot when Airbus produces 50+ monthly, but it's a good start. Better that Comac starts slow and gets the plane and process right instead of delivering low quality product like Boeing.

[@JetlineMarvel]

Good point

[@peterwong4779]

Hope they can increase production for companies to Airbus in market soon

[@fatdoi003]

ideally comac should output 100 planes per year

[@JetlineMarvel]

Yes, but this year, COMAC is ready to deliver 50 aircraft.

[@andreinastase1604]

50 is ok for this year but in 2026 is expected to rise to 10 per month.

[@wohetang]

100 a year means a global fleet of 3000 in the life span of 30 years. certainly not enough. why "ideally"? Ideally should be 100 per month.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Ideally, Comac builds 100+ planes monthly, for China and other non-US, non-EU markets.

[@iany2448]

During the ramp up, Comac needs to focus on both build speed and quality control with aim of increasing output further. There are over thousand units on the order book. 50 per year would require 20 years production run. That is too long a time.

[@JetlineMarvel]

True, they need to be efficient.

[@matthewyee407]

There are no doubts that Comac could deliver 100 aircraft, as China is the world's factory. In 2024 Janet Yellen accused China of having factories that are overcapacity, which means that the Chinese can produce products faster and much cheaper than the rest of the world. As a result, NATO has failed to decouple from China, which indicates that Chinese manufacturing has surpassed NATO in a lot of areas. There is a significant improvement since COMAC started in 2008, and in 2025, it could produce 100 aircraft, which is certainly something to marvel at.

[@JetlineMarvel]

That's right. They have a high capacity to produce, but it may be limited if they depend on overseas components.

[@Beav56]

They will produce 1,000++ per annum...takes time to ramp!

[@ZweiZwolf]

@@Beav56 Eventually. First need to get the plane and process right.

[@willgates8383]

Wow over 1 million passengers flown on C919 already !!!! Congrats on reaching that milestone.

[@JetlineMarvel]

Yes it is a big milestone

If the market is there the Chinese will produce the numbers. Boeing and Airbus had it too long too easy. Hope the Russians make it to the market.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Even after the Ukraine war ends, I doubt Irkut sells much globally.

[@JetlineMarvel]

Russian market is big

[@thisiskevin1000]

Also anticipated is the EASA (European Air Safety Administration) certification. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) should also do the same.

[@JetlineMarvel]

it takes times

Good luck 👍 to China. Love ❤ from Bangladesh....

[@crazyjohnhoward]

Wow. What a beautiful plane. Love it

[@JetlineMarvel]

It’s a great aircraft indeed.

[@josephguo6256]

should add one more 0, 500 per year.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Airbus sells ~750 A320 annually. 500 would be a good output in a few years.

[@bireswarhalder9765]

Good news but China needs to increase production rapidly to provide real competition with the Airbus and Boeing.

[@JetlineMarvel]

As per norms if they have more aircraft in operations mostly they get other countries approval easily. Steadily they will compete with Airbus or Boeing

[@bireswarhalder9765]

@JetlineMarvel This is just the beginning. China has to come up with other variants C929 and C939 for real compilation. Moreover, Western countries won't approve air worthy certificates so easily. But certainly, 10 years from now, real competition will emerge for sure.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Comac will be competing with Airbus and Boeing for decades to come, so it's OK for them to grow slow until they have everything squared away.

[@othmanmajid6380]

Looking good😊

[@JetlineMarvel]

yes

[@DavidSeto-i2q]

Building a commercial airliner is not like opening a subway sandwich shop.

[@SengpoSatbang]

You mean like Boeing producing its 737 Max?

[@josephguo6256]

dear david, where you live?

[@comchadelalora]

They will use tofu and rice paste to bond strongly the wings. Also, chinese are so very ahead in everything, that their planes will work with 220 volts. Now they are trying to figure out how to recharge batteries in mid-air. Truly marvelous😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fantastic

[@вадимАндрисенко-э5я]

Боюсь, что западные поставщики не допустят рост производства китайских самолётов, посмотрите, как это уже было в России, на счёт раз-два всё прекращается.

[@JetlineMarvel]

yeah true.. may be western can control on supply chain

[@javaidzaidi]

It is about time the Western duopoly was challenged. The Russian MC 21 will add to the competition when it is introduced. It's arrival has been delayed because of American sanctions, which prohibited American engines for the MC 21. The Russians are now developing theif own, and are reported to have made good progress in its development. Very likely those engines could fit the 919, also.

[@JetlineMarvel]

Thats true

[@DeoreMahesh-j1x]

It should be 500 and not 50 For china 5000 is very easy task

[@JetlineMarvel]

haha ..yeah true

[@ZweiZwolf]

5000 would be more than the entire current global market, so the US and EU will close imports before that happens.

[@CintaSepakbola-mania]

50 pesawat dalam setahun? Sungguh lawakan paling lucu. COMAC akan ditipu oleh CFM soal pengiriman mesin dan Safran dalam mengirimkan sayap, juga vendor lain dari Barat. Berbagai alasan dari Vendor Barat akan membuat sebulan hanya mengirimkan sedikit pengiriman. Misalnya CFM internasional hanya kirim 6 mesin dalam sebulan, maka hanya 3 yang mungkin selesai. Belum pula sistem avionik bisa tertunda. Dalam sebulan hanya 3 atau 2 pesawat yang mungkin selesai. Maka sangat lah sulit benar sesuai target, 50 pesawat dalam setahun. 🥵

Don't really believe that. As per WIKI only 22 have been built and 6 are the prototypes. Most of the plane's key parts, still very dependent on foreign suppliers.

There are other counties beside US. So, China doesn't care. China market for airplane is huge. China doesn't need US certification.
