with Comac coming soon
The C919's been coming soon for almost fifteen years. In that time COMAC's built five. Boeing builds more 737s than that in a week. Airbus builds twice that number of A320s in a week.
In a two class layout it's got fewer seats than a MAX 7 and the extended range version's got less range than a MAX 10. Even if COMAC managed to build a bunch of them, they're not competitive with current generation airliners. The C919 is least a generation behind and COMAC has basically no logistics infrastructure. They've a long way to go before being competitive outside of the captive domestic market.
