China Southern Airlines announced the delivery of the first C919, and all three major Chinese airlines have ordered!
At the recent annual working meeting of the three major airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China and China Eastern Airlines all talked about the reception of the domestic large aircraft C919. China Southern Airlines has reported that the first C919 they ordered is about to be delivered. Although the exact number of orders has not yet been confirmed, it is at least certain that all three major Chinese airlines have placed orders for C919s.
Air China also revealed that it plans to receive the first C919 in 2024, and asked relevant units to coordinate the reception work. It is said that COMAC is likely to deliver five C919s to Air China within the year.
At the same time, China Eastern has made it clear that its C919 fleet will reach 10 aircraft in 2024. As China Eastern has previously delivered four C919s to China Eastern and started operating commercial routes, it is expected that China Eastern will take delivery of six C919s in 2024. This means that the three major airlines will receive a total of 12 C919s, marking an increase in COMAC production.
One of the keys is a major breakthrough in the localization of engine systems. Recently, it has been reported that Shougang Beiye Company has made progress in the development of materials for the domestic aviation development CJ1000A supporting the C919. This breakthrough is of great significance to COMAC, and we look forward to the fact that the domestic aviation engine CJ1000A can be officially installed on the C919 and let it soar in the blue sky of our great motherland!
Through the orders of China Southern Airlines, Air China and China Eastern Airlines, China's three major airlines have demonstrated their firm confidence in the local aviation industry to the world. This is not only a recognition of COMAC's production capacity, but also a high evaluation of the C919, a large domestic aircraft.
The C919 is known as COMAC's first large jet airliner for the global market, and has independent intellectual property rights. It incorporates a number of innovative technologies, including the use of composite materials for the airframe, advanced engine systems, and more. As an important milestone for COMAC, the successful development and mass production of the C919 represents a great progress made by China in the field of civil aviation.
In addition to the domestic market demand, C919 has also received extensive attention from the international market. At present, many international airlines have expressed interest in the C919 and expressed their willingness to cooperate with COMAC. This indicates that COMAC will further strengthen cooperation with the international aviation industry and enhance its competitiveness in the global market.
With the delivery and operation of the C919, China will further expand its influence in the civil aviation industry. The success of C919 will bring more development opportunities for China's civil aviation and promote the country's scientific and technological innovation and aviation strength.
As a potential aircraft manufacturing country, China is committed to enhancing the core competitiveness of its local aviation industry. Through independent R&D and innovation, COMAC has made remarkable achievements and gradually emerged in the international aviation market.
In the future, we have reason to believe that with the continuous development and growth of COMAC, C919 will become a bright business card of China's aviation industry. We look forward to the C919 soaring all over the world, demonstrating the quality and strength of Made in China!
