China Eyes Southeast Asia to Boost Sales of C919 Jets

Comac's ambitions face hurdles but see potential in smaller regional carriers and emerging markets.

Comac aims to break the Airbus-Boeing duopoly with its C919 narrowbody jet.
Lack of certification from US and European regulators poses significant challenges.
Indonesia's TransNusa and Brunei's GallopAir are key targets for C919 sales.
Comac's ARJ21 regional jets have already made inroads in Southeast Asia.
Geopolitical issues and supply chain disruptions remain critical risks.
