The current C919 aircraft is constantly receiving good news. In addition to C919, the first delivered aircraft has completed its first flight and entered the test flight stage. The C919 prototype with registration number B-001F is currently traveling around China on various routes. Testing, the intensified testing of the C919 aircraft also means that the C919 aircraft is getting closer and closer to service. It is speculated that the C919 is likely to complete the delivery to China Eastern Airlines in August this year, and China Eastern Airlines will also become the world's first There are three airlines that use C919 aircraft. After the C919 aircraft is officially delivered to China Eastern Airlines for use in the future, there will also be competition from three companies: European Airbus, American Boeing and COMAC , because this is one of the few companies in the world. There are many companies that manufacture mainline passenger aircraft.
However, at the critical moment when good news about C919 continues to come, there are signs that Ethiopia is likely to have compromised with Boeing Company . On July 12, local time, Boeing stated that it had delivered a Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft to Ethiopian Airlines in June. Since the Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft had previously experienced two fatal accidents, this has also led to many accidents around the world. Airlines have issued strict grounding orders for the Boeing 737 MAX8. Although some airlines around the world have chosen to resume flying this type of aircraft, most of the airlines that have resumed flying are airlines located in North America and Australia. Company, it is worth mentioning that Ethiopian Airlines had already experienced a crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in March 2019, and the crash resulted in no survivors on board.
According to the information learned by the War Research Institute, Boeing’s public delivery of Boeing 737 MAX8 aircraft to Ethiopian Airlines is also the first time it has completed the delivery of Boeing 737 MAX8 to this company since the accident, and such aircraft delivery has also received In addition to the acceptance of customers, Indonesian Lion Air has the same fate as Ethiopian Airlines. However, Indonesian Lion Air has never accepted any brand-new Boeing 737 MAX8 aircraft after the accident, and all aircraft of the same model are in Parking status.
It is also surprising that Ethiopian Airlines received the Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft this time, because since it has accepted the new aircraft, it proves that Ethiopian Airlines is likely to have planned to resume flying this type of aircraft, although the United States has expressed its concern about the Boeing 737MAX8 The aircraft has undergone many changes to eliminate the original defects, but most airlines around the world still cannot believe this, so the Boeing 737 MAX8 aircraft is still grounded.
Some time ago, it was reported that China placed an order with Airbus Company to purchase nearly 300 A320 NEO passenger aircraft, and the A320 NEO passenger aircraft is also the number one competitor of Boeing 737MAX8. Zhanyan believes that this time China placed an order with Airbus Company in one go. Airbus placed an order to purchase nearly 300 aircraft. On the one hand, it is part of the game between China and the United States. On the other hand, Boeing has no products for China to choose from. It is impossible for China to spend huge sums of money to purchase a bunch of Boeing 737MAX8s with safety hazards. aircraft, so it can only target Airbus’ A320 NEO aircraft. Text/Iris
