The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) has "set up" a C919 at the twice-yearly expo, according to independent aviation analyst Li Hanming. China's first domestically manufactured passenger aircraft Comac C919 flies over Victoria Harbour during its inaugural voyage outside the mainland, in Hong Kong, China, on Dec 16, 2023. The C919 made its commercial debut in China in May 2023 and is now on back order for China's three largest airlines. No Southeast Asian airlines - many of which lack regulatory approval or on-the-ground support for new aircraft types - have bought or leased a C919.
