With its inaugural flight almost a year away, one can say that it is meant to target leisure routes for instance from Shanghai to Singapore and Beijing to Bangkok.

The manufacturers  of C919, state-owned commercial aircraft corporation of China(COMAC) have revealed that they are set to make another wide-brimmed airliner. (also: Nepal is still in crisis.)

The company expects to sell 20,000 aircrafts in the coming year. After The United States, China holds the second-largest air travel market and as per a report by Boeing forecast, over the next two decades China’s estimated requirement would be of 6,300 new airplanes.

Whereas, there are speculations over its sales in the international market as it lacks certification from the U. S federal aviation association (FAA).
