Anita Mendiratta, Special Advisor to Secretary General of U.N. Tourism in Aviation and Tourism Development spoke to CGTN Europe. She mentioned this is a significant moment for global aviation as COMAC becomes a new player in the aircraft supply chain, offering complementary options in a market with high demand and limited supply. However, COMAC is still in its early stages, Anita addressed, facing challenges in its delivery status and reliance on external supply chains for critical components. The C919 model, which competes with Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus NEOs, presents a promising future for sustainable aviation, but COMAC needs to overcome regulatory and quality assurance hurdles to expand its customer base beyond China.
