Comac

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd (Comac) or China Commercial Aircraft, was established in Shanghai in May-2008 to develop passenger aircraft with capacity of over 150 passengers to reduce the country's reliance on imports from Boeing and Airbus. Comac’s shareholders include AVIC I and AVIC II, the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Chinese central government.

Comac is marketing the ARJ21 developed by AVIC I, but is specifically engaged in the development of the 168-190 seat C919, which is expected to enter flight testing in 2014 and enter commercial service in 2016. Both programmes are supported by Western aerospace companies including General Electric, Rockwell Collins, and Honeywell.

Ryanair CEO, Michael OLeary Ryanair plays the Boeing waiting game with potential order of up to 300 B737s

25-Oct-2011 4:15 PM

The latest round of Ryanair's aircraft purchase negotiations through the press may indicate a troubling truth for the carrier: its business is not wanted.

For a potential 300 aircraft order, which has been lingering since 2009, Ryanair wants the favourable pricing it secured in 2002 for 100 B737s. Back then the industry was at rock bottom and Boeing was eager to sign for 100 aircraft. Now, even after a recent depression and possibly entering a second, narrowbody backlogs are hearty – and more diverse. Boeing has acknowledged its market outlooks from the last decade did not foresee the rapid growth of LCCs, and especially from those based in Asia Pacific. This larger pool gives airframers more potential customers to woo, and the customers may pay Boeing more than whatever deep discount Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary extracts, or they may pay the exact same but be more pleasant to do business with.

China’s airlines to order more than 2000 aircraft over next five years

18-Mar-2011 9:42 AM

Airbus and Boeing have separately stated this month that airlines in the Asia Pacific region would account for a third of total aircraft deliveries over the next 20 years. Much of the growth is being driven by Chinese carriers. Indeed, the CAAC forecasts China’s airlines will order more than 2000 aircraft over next five years alone, underpinned by continued economic growth and rising traffic demand. Beijing's bullish forecast is “sweet music to an airplanes manufacturer’s ears,” according to Boeing.
