Captain
The King of Malaysia landed in Beijing today for 4 days state visit. A visit to COMAC Aircraft factory in Shanghai is on his itenary.

Though there is no details on his visit, it still brings up speculation on Malaysia's interest on ARJ-21 and C919, or may be for his personal collection.

It is reported that Air China has opted for an extended-range version of the C919, configured with 158 seats across two classes: eight in business and 150 in economy. China Southern Airlines selected the standard-range model, featuring a three-class layout with 164 seats, including eight in business, 18 in premium economy, and 138 in economy.

Both aircraft feature custom-designed cabin layouts, offering tailored seating arrangements and comprehensive in-seat power solutions. This configuration underscores a commitment to enhancing passenger comfort while maintaining operational versatility.

Compared to the basic model, the extended-range version has a larger maximum takeoff weight of 78.9 tons and engine thrust of 30,000 pounds, allowing for longer flights. It has a full payload range of 2,000 nautical miles, an increase of 700 nautical miles compared to the basic model, and a maximum range of 5 hours, an increase of 1.7 hours. These improvements allow it to better meet the demand of the market.

Hard to believe it's been over a year. Has been smooth sailing the entire way. Not a bad occasion to pop the champagne for if you work for COMAC.

EASA certification is not for export to Europe, but to increase the credibility to Global south countries. Let's say you are trying to sell to Saudi Arabia. Would you not want EASA certificate? After all, Saudis cannot fully replace 737s in their fleet unless C919s are allowed to fly into Europe. There is also just the overall reputation effect of having EASA certificate.

At current production rate，C919 can not fulfill Chinese domestic order in next 10 years，let along export
