The video was quite good, but the title is definitely clickbait.

20. France and China welcome the conclusion of a “General Terms Agreement” confirming the acquisition by Chinese companies of 160 Airbus aircraft. They will timely study the needs of Chinese airlines, especially cargo and long-haul, according to the recovery and development of the Chinese transport market and air fleet. The two parties welcome the strengthening of cooperation between the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), and will continue to accelerate the certification process based on standards mutually recognized international safety standards, particularly with regard to the H175, Falcon 8X and Y12F programs. They welcome the conclusion of an agreement between the companies of the two countries on sustainable aviation fuels. They are also continuing the industrial cooperation initiated, in particular the project for the new Airbus assembly line in Tianjin.
no mention of C919 in there means no EASA certificate and limited opportunities for export.
Not end of the world, but China did use Western suppliers for the purpose of trying to get EASA certificate. This is a case where EASA/FAA working together really hurts China's ability to get its product certified in Western countries. You rarely see EASA certify for one and FAA doesn't. + Vice versa
China at this point need to just work toward full indigenization of subsystems since Western countries aren't going to certify C919
"From the second half of last year to February this year (2023), the C919 mainly carried out ground experiments at Dunhuang Airport." Luo Bin said that the main task of the C919 aircraft at the Dunhuang base this year (2023) is design optimization and EASA certification tasks. As the Dunhuang test flight base of COMAC, Dunhuang Airport will also guarantee many test flights of C919 aircraft in the future.
The first domestically produced ARJ21 to operate overseas, the PK-TJA of Indonesian TransNusa Airlines, will start commercial flight on April 18, with the maiden flight from Jakarta to Denpasar (Bali). After the aircraft was delivered to Lingya Airlines in December last year, it flew to Jakarta via Ho Chi Minh City and completed the 100-hour verification flight of the new model required by the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority last month. The company's second ARJ21 will also be delivered in the near future...
The PK-TJA that is about to set sail has an all-economy-class 95-seat layout, and is provided by CALC for operating lease. CALC ordered 30 ARJ21-700s from COMAC in 2021 and reserves the right to choose another 30. These aircraft are expected to be put into overseas markets..

ARJ21 exported to Indonesia’s TransNusa will make its commercial maiden voyage today. The plane has just taken off from Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and headed to Bali Denpasar Airport, a tourist attraction. However, there should be a ceremony today, "Leaders fly first" (the visual sense of ARJ's first domestic operation), and tickets will be officially sold tomorrow.
In an interview with the media, Bernard Francis, CEO of Lingya Aviation Group, mentioned some interesting information: "I have been involved in the ARJ21 project for the past three and a half years, and it looks like Airbus or Boeing, including the cabin and other aspects. Everything is about the same as Airbus and Boeing, if not better." "
I personally think that creating a new operating model for ARJ21 is our opportunity at TransNusa". Regarding pilot training, Francis mentioned that TransNusa pilots are being trained at the COMAC training center in Shanghai, China. The Chinese aircraft maker has also sent about 30 flight operations experts and engineers to Indonesia to support the airline. “In the future, as we build up the fleet, as we get more aircraft, if we have a local facility in the region, we will see it appear in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore or wherever it makes sense,” when
asked And ARJ21 compared with Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier's higher single-seat fuel consumption, Francis said that a series of upgrades will be carried out on the aircraft in the future. "With all new aircraft, there is this process. Initially, it may be slightly heavier and burn more fuel, all to ensure the absolute safety of the aircraft. With the flight of this aircraft (ARJ21) More and more, we 're going to make changes to the aircraft as we grow and develop."
we have an agreement of purchasing 30 Aircrafts. in future we can procure 30 more.
A historic moment for China. from assembling toys to civilian aircraft in just 30 years.
COMAC journey has officially begun.

alright, my thoughts on the impact of new CATL battery. I don't think this really makes it viable for longer ranged commercial aircraft, but private jets and regional jets are possible. There is also the possibility of hybrid aircraft longer term. eVTOL seems to be something that will be more prominent in the future. With CATL technology, Chinese eVTOL companies will have leg up.
which engines does it use, any ideas?
