Maker of China’s C919 jet set to pick up production pace after delay: sources
AI Summary
China's Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) plans to increase production and deliveries of its C919 narrowbody jet in 2026, aiming for 28 or more units after supply chain issues hampered production in 2025. Two C919s have already been produced in the first three weeks of the year, signaling improved output. Comac delivered 15 C919s in 2025, significantly less than the initial target of 75, but production accelerated in the final months of the year. The company anticipates continued supply chain improvements, particularly regarding engines and parts, to support the increased production rate. This ramp-up is crucial for Comac to establish the C919 as a competitor in the narrowbody aircraft market.
