C919 is no match to A320ceo, not to mention A320neo. It can seat fewer passengers, and have shorter range.

But of course, COMAC can sell the plane at a discount to international customers. Meanwhile, CCP will take care of domestic customers.

COMAC will be able to break the Airbus / Boeing duopoly, but no so soon.

EU & US is transferring their aviation tech & know-how to China. The Chinese is learning very fast. It is still a work in progress.

China still can't produce a fuel efficient engine for their plane yet, it is their next goal

Don't worry. Their industrial spies is hard at work here.

Next gen C919 is probably 20 years away. By that time Airbus would have come out with the successor of A320neo already.

Chinese citizens will be the guinea pigs, hopefully the plane will have a long safety record.

China just direct skip to make hybrid electric plane la

So, how about alert sound in cabin ? retard = 弱智 ?

Mc21 is better

Won't be surprised to see Chinese planes feature on ACI

You know how long it took Airbus to just be on par with Boeing?

I'm not doubting Comac but it will be some time before they can be a real challenge to Airbus.

Got spare part or not?? Need to buy 2 unit??

Got ncap crash test or not?

err.... they're using the LEAP 1-C engine from CFM (which is the improved version of the LEAP 1-A used in A320NEO)

In fact, most of the aircraft critical parts are sourced from western companies

airbus pilot been called Retard everytime they land the plane

Not as efficient as a320neo, safety record also not sure of yet. If any Airlines get that plane, I'll be wary of booking with them.

Always have to start somewhere and then improve after a small market share has been established. Look at how China smartphone and electric vehicle brands have established themselves so quickly.

Not many countries can go into this line because of their small internal market. Only big countries like China, Russia and probably India has the market size to support a startup local passenger plane manufacturer.

Big established company like Boeing can still screw up big time.

Airbus launched A300 in 1969. Ten years later...

Pretty impressive.
Meanwhile, C919 was launched in 2008, and it is still not in service yet.
