Emerging Boeing rival COMAC vows to deliver its first C919 jet by year's end
Chinese jet maker Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (COMAC) has vowed to deliver its first completed C919 single-aisle jet to an airline customer by Dec. 31.
The vow by COMAC was reported at the end of a recent story by Global Times, the Chinese government's English-language edition of the People's Daily.
"The C919 aircraft is scheduled for delivery to the first client at the end of 2021," said Yang Zhigang, who was described as the general engineer of COMAC.
The airline customer that would get the first jet was not identified, but the delivery, if completed, could mark the start of a new chapter in a global aerospace competition currently dominated by Boeing and European rival Airbus.
