China’s C919 jet faces turbulent skies as US-China trade tensions add to delays
COMAC delivered 20 C919 jets in China by October 2025, but U.S. export controls and certification delays hinder global market entry and production targets.
- China's C919 jet deliveries will likely fall far short of the goal of 30 deliveries in 2025, according to aviation consultancy Cirium.
- Trade tensions with the U.S. have directly affected the delivery schedules for the C919, stated Dan Taylor from IBA.
- The C919 requires U.S. export clearance for its engines, making it sensitive to political shifts, explained Dan Taylor.
- AirAsia and other airlines express interest in the C919, but certification requirements may delay its entry into international markets, stated Richard Aboulafia, managing director of AeroDynamic Advisory.
