A commercial Aircraft Corp of China (Comac) C919 aircraft operated by China Eastern Airlines during the Singapore Airshow in Singapore, on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. SINGAPORE — China's homegrown airliner may be the latest challenger to Airbus and Boeing's passenger jets, but an executive from Airbus said he's not worried. The Comac C919 is "not going to rock the boat in particular," Christian Scherer, chief executive officer of Airbus's aircraft commercial business, said at a media roundtable on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow. "It looks a bit like an Airbus narrow body," Scherer said, tongue in cheek, noting that the C919 is "not very different" from what Airbus and Boeing already have in the market. Scherer acknowledged that the C919 was a "legitimate effort" by China — but "the market is large enough for competition, we welcome the competition."

SINGAPORE — China is gearing up to showcase its narrow-body passenger jet to a global audience for the first time at the Singapore Airshow. Touted as a competitor to Boeing's 737 and the Airbus 320, the Comac C919 is quickly turning out to be one of the most anticipated features at this year's event. "Flying for the first time at the Singapore Airshow, is the C919, a narrow-body airliner developed by Chinese aircraft manufacturer Comac," Singapore Airshow organizer and manager Experia Events said in a statement. The Singapore Airshow is a fantastic opportunity for Comac particularly given the current situation with Boeing," Brendan Sobie of Sobie Aviation told CNBC.
