Comac has also officially renamed its ARJ21 regional jet programme to the C909, in line with the naming convention of its other two programmes the C919 and C929.
The renaming, alongside a modified livery, were revealed at the 2024 edition of Airshow China.
The C909 is Comac’s first commercial aircraft product, with more than 100 examples in operation. Indonesia-based TransNusa Airlines is the first and only international operator of the C909.
Comac states: “The unified aircraft product names…are conducive to shaping the image of [our] products and further enhancing product recognition and brand influence.”
