"China's C919 Takes Center Stage at Singapore Airshow, Challenging Boeing and Airbus"

Boeing opts out of showcasing commercial aircraft at the Singapore Airshow, while China's C919 takes the spotlight with a well-received fly-over. The C919, China's challenger to the Airbus and Boeing duopoly, is aiming to break into the international market. Despite recent troubles, the 737 MAX is still in demand, with China clearing Boeing to resume deliveries. Boeing estimates that 20% of the world's jet demand will come from China through 2042. The company will showcase its 777X cabin experience and defense aircraft at the airshow, aligning with the event's focus on aviation sustainability.
