The Rise of the C919
The C919, China’s first homegrown commercial airliner, has been making waves in the aviation industry since its maiden flight in 2017. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles and a capacity for 168 passengers, the C919 is designed to compete with established players like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
The C919 is not only a symbol of China’s growing aviation industry but also a reflection of the country’s increasing global influence.
