Introduction:
At the Singapore Airshow, the Chinese state-owned aircraft maker COMAC stole the spotlight from industry giants Airbus and Boeing. They showcased their self-developed C919 and ARJ21 jets, aiming to get international certifications and orders from other countries. Their booth in the center of the event hall attracted a lot of attention, with an advertisement calling their planes “a reliable new choice.” Many aviation, government, and investment professionals visited their display, showing strong interest in learning more about COMAC, which hasn’t been widely known outside of China until now.
