The story so far
The C919 jet, China's answer to Boeing and Airbus, is making its first international flight today. The aircraft, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, has been in development for over a decade.
The C919's first international flight marks a significant milestone in China's efforts to establish itself as a major player in the global aviation industry. The C919 has already completed numerous test flights and received certification from Chinese aviation authorities.
However, the jet has not yet secured certification from key international aviation regulators, which could impact its global acceptance and market penetration.
