According to Observer.com 2nd, Nigerian Airlines Minister Hadi Srika said when attending the Civil Aviation Organization Conference (ICAO) that he would consider purchasing Chinese C919 passenger aircraft , and increase the number of passenger aircraft to 30 by 2025 to expand the size of passenger aircraft of the country's airlines.

C919 will usher in the first order in Africa, Nigeria considering purchasing
ICAO is a specialized agency of United Nations , and an international conference is held every three years. In an interview with British media Reuters , Srika said that Nigeria's aviation industry is booming, and passenger flow has returned to the level before the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, so purchasing passenger planes is imminent. In addition to Boeing and Airbus passenger planes, he said that he would also include Chinese passenger planes on the procurement list. When talking about its relations with China, Srika said that China and Nigeria have always maintained close exchanges and have very friendly and mutually beneficial relations.
For a long time, the global civil aviation aircraft market has been "either Boeing or Airbus". According to public data, delivered a total of 1,034 commercial aircraft worldwide last year, of which Boeing and Airbus accounted for 92% of the total delivery volume. If only 100 passenger planes were counted, this number would reach 100% . After obtaining the model certificate, the C919 means that the aircraft fully meets navigation standards and is expected to compete with Boeing and Airbus on the international track and gain a place belonging to the Chinese.
C919 is a civil aviation passenger aircraft independently developed by my country,
In addition to the model certificate, C919 also needs to obtain the airworthiness certificate and the production certificate. These two certificates are expected to be obtained in about three months. The first aircraft of is expected to be delivered to at the end of the year. The standard range of C919 is 4075 kilometers, and there is also a version of 5555 kilometers. In addition to meeting the requirements of domestic flights, it can also support the exchange needs of countries such as East Asia, Southeast Asia and Central Asia and my country. After the C919 is delivered, the direct competitors of are Airbus A320Neo and Boeing B737Max, but when the performance is flat, the unit price of C910 is lower than that of both competitors .
Why is it Nigeria? China-Nepal friendship has its roots
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the largest importer of Chinese goods in the region . The import volume last year reached US$23 billion. However, due to factors such as electricity and networks, Nigeria still faces problems of development and wealth inequality, with 40% of the population still struggling on the poverty line. A few days ago, Oshobo City in Nigeria also reached friendly and cooperative city relations with Xiangyang City, Hubei, opening a new chapter in deepening friendly exchanges . The cooperation between the two sides has a long history. As early as nine years ago, the two sides carried out exchanges and cooperation in the medical field, and sent medical representatives to discuss medical science and technology, making good progress.
Nigeria Rai Railway, undertaken by China,
This year marks the 51st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Nigeria. It has gained a lot in both the political and economic and humanities fields, and has become an important part of South-south cooperation . Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the trade volume between the two sides has increased to 1,900 times at the beginning of diplomatic relations. Nigeria has also become China's second largest trading partner in Africa. , including , Aka Railway , Ogun Free Trade Zone, satellite launch, and marine scientific research cooperation are all the first in Africa . Now C919 is also expected to open its first order in Africa, which shows Nigeria's trust in "Chinese quality". At present, the impact of the new crown epidemic is still impacting the manufacturing industries of various countries. Nigeria chooses to cooperate with China with guaranteed supply chains, which is not only affordable but also more guaranteed.
is the best to be favored by foreign countries, but it is not in a hurry to export
Currently, C919 has applied for airworthiness certificates from Europe and the United States, but the uncertainty of this process still exists. Nigeria's purchase intention will be a good start. Coupled with the good reputation established by China in the international community, it will surely attract more international attention from Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. Previously, when the Ethiopian Ambassador to China visited C919 in Shanghai, he also stated that once C919 is on sale, it will be included in the airline's passenger queue . In addition to Boeing and Airbus, the world will have an extra choice from China in the future.
C919 has received orders from 815 airlines from 28 airlines
However, many experts in the civil aviation field said that C919 has passed various indicator tests and is a safe and environmentally friendly model. but is not in a hurry to open the overseas market . Currently, there are more than 4,000 civil aviation aircraft in China, and more than 3,200 of the same level as C919. According to statistics from COMAC , C919 has received orders from 815 aircraft from 28 airlines, which is enough to make C919 show its strength in China .
So the most urgent task is to continuously improve the C919 during use as soon as possible. After all, Boeing and Airbus aircraft of the same level are both tried and excellent models, with long-term technical accumulation and the production line is very mature. Boeing delivered a total of 263 B737 passenger aircraft last year, and the data of Airbus A320 was even more eye-catching, with a total of 483 aircraft being delivered. As latecomers, we must still have the mentality of learning and reference. At the same time, we must also prepare for their entry into the foreign market in procedures and first meet the needs of 28 domestic airlines. It is best if it can be recognized by foreign airlines, but there is no rush to compete for export orders.
