TOUS 4635 COMAC le C919 realise son premier vol international

Chinese aircraft manufacturer COMAC has reached a symbolic milestone with the first international flight of its C919, between Beijing and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Already in operation in China since 2023, the single-aisle jet aims to establish itself as a competitor to Airbus and Boeing. This first international route signals Beijing's desire to accelerate its entry into the global market, even though the C919 remains dependent on numerous Western components and is not yet certified in Europe or the United States.
