China’s indigenous commercial aircraft, the ARJ21 and C919, marked their debut in Malaysia with a static display and a demonstration flight at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Selangor state. This significant event, aimed at showcasing the capabilities and economic viability of these aircraft, underscores China’s efforts to penetrate the Southeast Asian aviation market.
Organized by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), the demonstration served multiple purposes. It was designed to test the aircraft’s adaptability to various airports and routes within five targeted countries, evaluate the compatibility with airport ground service equipment, assess the execution of special flight procedures, and ultimately confirm the economic benefits of operating these routes. COMAC emphasized that these demonstration flights are pivotal for laying the groundwork for future market expansion in Southeast Asia.
This move represents a significant milestone for China’s aviation industry, highlighting the ARJ21 and C919’s potential in international markets and their role in enhancing connectivity within the dynamic region of Southeast Asia.
