The Global Times reported on the content of an editorial in the South China Morning Post, an English-language media in Hong Kong, on the 19th, pointing out that China's aviation sector will move to new heights after C919.
"China's first domestically produced airliner visit to Hong Kong is just the first step in the country's aviation manufacturing industry," the editorial said, noting that "air travel has been around in international space exploration for a long time, but China's first domestically produced airliner flew low over [Hong Kong's] Victoria Harbour last weekend, showing a completely independent aviation industry moving towards a great national achievement." ”
"This comes six months after the narrow-body (single-aisle aircraft) jet C919 completed its first commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing, marking the emergence of competitors to the world's major aircraft, such as the American Boeing 737 and the European Airbus A320," the editorial noted. The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), which manufactures the C919, is currently considered a competitor to two large companies in the international market in the future. ”
The editorial further stated: "This will be part of the realization of the 'Chinese dream'. However, due to the performance of the C919 in the domestic market, its success largely depends on attention. China's penetration of the aviation market is expected to deepen, and China plans to gradually expand its aviation manufacturing industry, as it has done with high-speed rail technology. According to the editorial, "China will gradually enter the field with which it has the closest and most frequent contact, and eventually build COMAC into the third largest competitor in the world aviation sector." ”
