BEIJING/SEOUL, Jan 20 (Reuters) – Chinese planemaker COMAC plans to raise production capacity for its homegrown C919 single-aisle planes to 50 this year, a COMAC executive told a media outlet supported by the Shanghai government.
COMAC Deputy General Manager Shen Bo also said the Shanghai-based state-owned firm aims to manufacture 30 C919 aircraft this year, in an interview with The Paper published on Saturday.
COMAC is seeking to compete internationally with leading Western planemakers Airbus and Boeing , which produce dozens of their single-aisle A320neo family and 737 MAX jets per month.
