China's top airlines to buy ARJ21 jets from COMAC


BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s three biggest state-owned airlines on Friday announced deals to each purchase 35 ARJ21-700 regional jets from state planemaker Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC).

) said in separate stock filings that the order is worth $1.33 billion each, based on list prices.

Deliveries were scheduled from 2020 through 2024.

The almost identical announcements from the major airlines may signal an acceleration in the developments of the jet as Beijing seeks to promote its first domestically manufactured jet despite a slow start to sales and production hiccups.


The carriers said the aircraft purchases were aimed at boosting capacity in their regional markets.

China Eastern this month rebranded its Eastern Jets business which operates in general aviation as Air 123 to include public transportation services.

Chinese media have reported that the business was designed to operate home-grown jets such as ARJ21 and C919.

The C919, China’s bid to break the Airbus and Boeing duopoly in the narrow-body passenger jet market, has not yet obtained an airworthiness certification and is not yet in service.

Until now, only small Chinese airlines such as Chengdu Airlines and Inner Mongolia based Genghis Khan Airlines operate the ARJ21, a twin-engine regional jet.

Why not now this statement is definitely BS. Mitsubishi is no more established than CAC their model jet MRJ has been delayed over and over again and it won't be certified until 2021 Typical sour grape from western media
Mitsubishi has to change the name from MRJ to space jet due to poor image.

Embraer is sold to Boeing. to add insult to injury Boeing drop the name Embraer completely

Up until this point, only small Chinese airlines such as Chengdu Airlines and

Mitsubishi Aircraft initially planned to deliver the first MRJ in 2013 but has so far delayed its delivery five times.

The company says development of the MRJ is in a final phase and that deliveries could start in the middle of 2020. But due to the uncertainty over when the development will actually be finished, it has been struggling to attract new orders. It still paper machine

Now compare that ARJ that accumulate real flight hour
