In a big move that shows China’s resolve to challenge the supremacy of Boeing and Airbus in the aviation industry, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China made an international debut of its narrow-body C919 passenger jet at the Singapore Airshow 2024.

Beijing has invested heavily in this project as it seeks to end the dominance of the Western players in the industry.
