"China's C919 Takes Center Stage at Singapore Airshow Amidst Global Competition"
Airbus executive Christian Scherer downplays concerns about competition from China's Comac C919, stating that the narrow-body jet is not significantly different from existing offerings. Despite acknowledging the C919 as a legitimate effort by China, Scherer welcomes the competition, emphasizing the market's size. Comac recently finalized an order for 40 C919 and 10 ARJ21 jets with China's Tibet Airlines, signaling its growing presence in the aviation industry.
