Hey everyone, I just came across an interesting piece of news in the South China Morning Post. Apparently, the COMAC C919 is in the process of getting certified by EASA, which could be a huge step forward for COMAC's ambitions to challenge the Airbus-Boeing duopoly. European aviation evaluators are actually participating in test flights to assess the aircraft's compliance with Western safety standards.
If the C919 receives EASA certification, it could open the door to sales in Europe and potentially other international markets. This raises some interesting questions about how the market dynamics could shift.
As fellow aviation enthusiasts, what do you think about the potential impact of the C919 gaining certification outside of China? Do you believe airlines in Europe or other regions will be open to adding the C919 to their fleets, or will they remain loyal to Airbus and Boeing? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
