[Ilkka Mäkelä 1 228]

Ensimmäinen asiakkaalle (China Easternille) toimitettavaksi tarkoitettu C919 on suorittanut ensilentonsa ja sertifioinnin edellyttämiä koelentoja jatketaan. Vielä ei ole tiedossa, milloin Kiinan viranomainen tulee sertifioimaan konetyypin.

The first production aircraft of the COMAC C919 has made its maiden flight on May 14. The aircraft, painted white with China Eastern Airlines on the fuselage, performed a three hour, two minutes test flight from and to Shanghai Pudong, the Chinese airframer reported on May 14.

When the CAAC will grant COMAC the type certificate is unclear.

C919:sta oli tarkoitus tehdä hinnaltaan kilpailukykyinen 737:ään ja A320:een verrattuna jotta kone kelpaisi vientiin, mutta viimeisimmän tiedon mukaan C919:n hinta lähestyy jo 100 miljoonaa dollaria, kun A320neon listahinta on 111 miljoonaa ja 737 MAXin 117 miljoonaa. Alunperin kiinalaiset ajattelivat C919:n hinnaksi 50 miljoonaa, joten hinta on tuplaantunut.

China is in danger of pricing itself out of the market with its new C919 narrow body airliner according to The Straits Times. The Singapore publication is reporting the new plane will cost about $100 million, almost as much as the A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX which now dominate that market. China had hoped the plane would come in at about $50 million, giving it a big edge over the Western competitors. An A320neo is about $111 million and the MAX is about $117 million.

C919:n sertifioinnin ajankohta lähestyy. Kiinan valtion omistama lentokonevalmistaja COMAC kertoo, että koelento-ohjelma on saatu päätökseen. Ensimmäisen asiakastoimituksen China Easternille odotetaan tapahtuvan jo elokuun aikana.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's homegrown C919 narrow-body jet, designed to challenge the Airbus-Boeing duopoly, is nearing certification as its test planes completed all of the test flight tasks, the company said on Saturday.

The state-owned manufacturer Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) said on its official social media account that the six test planes have finished the testing tasks as the programme enters the final stage of receiving a certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China which is required for commercial operations.

The launch customer is the state-owned China Eastern Airlines, which has placed an order for five C919 jets in March last year. Changjiang Daily, a newspaper owned by the local government of Wuhan, said in a report on July 8 the airline is scheduled to take the first delivery in August.

Assembled in China, the plane relies heavily on Western components, including engines and avionics.

Kiinassa on järjestetty sertifiointiseremonia C919:n viranomaishyväksynnän kunniaksi. C919:n kehittämiseen valmiiksi meni noin 14 vuotta.

Konetyypin odotetaan kuitenkin aloittavan matkustajaliikenteen vasta ensi vuoden puolella.

COMAC C919 on saanut Kiinan viranomaisilta tuotantosertifikaatin, mikä mahdollistaa massatuotantoprosessin käynnistämisen. Tämän ja aikaisemmin syyskuussa myönnetyn tyyppisertifikaatin lisäksi konetyyppi tarvitsee vielä sertifikaatin kaupallisten matkustajalentojen aloittamista varten.

Konetyypillä on uutisen mukaan 1115 tilausta.

The C919, China's first self-developed narrow-body passenger jet, received its production certificate on Tuesday from the Civil Aviation Administration of China in Shanghai, indicating the model can be put into mass production.

Comparable to the Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 series, the C919 received its type certificate in late September, which gave design approval.

The first C919 aircraft has completed its production test flights and fulfilled delivery requirements, and it is expected to be delivered to China Eastern Airlines in December. So far, the C919 has received 1,115 orders from home and abroad.

"The C919 also needs to get the last certificate, or a permit for commercial operation of passenger flights. Only after all three certificates are obtained can an aircraft model be put into commercial use," said Lin Zhijie, an aviation industry analyst.

Looking through the aircraft’s flight history from flightradar24.com data, one fact that stands out is that China Eastern Airlines does not utilize the C919 fully, with a maximum of just two flights per day. In comparison, aircraft flying on the same route, namely between SHA and TFU, fly much more often.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - China's challenger to Airbus and Boeing's passenger jets, the narrow-body C919 manufactured by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), has made its first trip outside Chinese territory, staging a fly-by at the Singapore Airshow on Sunday.

China has invested heavily in its attempt to break the hold of the dominant two Western planemakers on the global passenger market.

China has indicated a push this year to advance the C919 and COMAC's footprint domestically and internationally. The plane is only certified within China and the first of now four C919s began flying with China Eastern Airlines last year.
