On February 27, at Van Don Airport, Quang Ninh province, Comac Airshow 2024 took place. This event is part of a series of aircraft demonstration events in 5 countries in Southeast Asia, co-organized by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac Air).
Comac Air brought to this exhibition two commercial aircraft C919 and ARJ21 which are expected to be able to compete with two famous aircraft lines, Boeing 737 and Airbus 320.
Designing and manufacturing its own aircraft puts China in the ranks of a small group of countries that can do so, including the US, Russia, Brazil, Canada, the UK, France and Germany.
