On the afternoon of November 6th, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh received Mr. Wei Yingbiao, Executive Deputy General Manager of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC).
Comax is a state-owned aviation enterprise in China, best known for its C919 aircraft – the first narrow-body aircraft designed and manufactured entirely in China.
Cooperation on short-haul flights to Con Dao
Expressing their appreciation for the Vietnamese market, Comac's leaders stated that they had traveled from Shanghai to Kunming to report to the Prime Minister on the issue of promoting cooperation. Accordingly, the company has an aircraft with over 90 seats, capable of flying a distance of 3,000km, and has already conducted test flights on the route from Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao.
"We are very excited because never before have planes flown such short distances," a Comac representative shared, adding that with the development of Vietnam's economy , especially aviation, Comac is very interested and eager to enter the Vietnamese market soon.
Accordingly, the company has now partnered with Vietjet Air to operate short-haul aircraft. Therefore, Comac's leadership hopes that by the end of this year, the company's aircraft will officially be flying in Vietnamese airspace, contributing to facilitating travel for Vietnamese people.
The head of the Vietnamese government also affirmed his strong interest in China's aircraft manufacturing industry. He believes that in the next 5-10 years, Comac will make a leap forward, creating better competition with other aircraft manufacturers worldwide.
Regarding the introduction of aircraft to operate the Con Dao route, the Prime Minister said he was very interested in this matter because the runway in Con Dao is very short. Vietnam is also upgrading Con Dao airport to expand and extend the runway.
"The plane landing at Con Dao airport was a great success. Con Dao may be small, but it has a rich history, is very sacred, and attracts a large number of visitors," the Prime Minister said.
Once again, the Vietnamese government leader affirmed his support for innovation, creativity, and dynamism, emphasizing the importance of time and intellect, because lagging behind in time leads to backwardness, while failing to keep pace intellectually will also result in being left behind.

This will contribute to the development of the flower market, the formation of a flower exchange serving the domestic market and the global export market, and help people get rich from the flower industry.
