During President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing, he pushed for renewed Boeing aircraft purchases, but analysts emphasize China's long-term goal of establishing the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) as a global aviation competitor. Founded in 2008, COMAC aims to disrupt the Boeing-Airbus duopoly by enhancing China's industrial self-reliance and national security. By 2026, COMAC operates two aircraft models: the C909 regional jet and the C919 narrow-body aircraft. The C909 has over 200 aircraft in service, while the C919, a rival to the Boeing 737, has around 40 in operation. Despite its progress, COMAC relies on Western technology for engines, posing a significant challenge for its future models, including the C929 wide-body aircraft. As China’s aviation market expands, the need for Boeing aircraft persists, especially amid deteriorating relations and tariffs affecting deliveries. Analysts predict that by 2030, COMAC could deliver up to 150 aircraft annually, marking a shift in the global aviation landscape.
