COMAC C919

Seriously. I think Airbus will call of their bluff since they know COMAC is in no way near ready or competitive enough to start exporting planes. They have no capacity to do that. Need at least a decade before they can start thinking of exports and challenging Airbus and Beoing. COMAC hasn't even met 1/10 of Chinese orders yet much less thinking of exports.

I think C-Series is mainly for domestic market although it is being exported

I doubt C-Series will ever challenge Boeing or Airbus but if both aviation giants lose even 10% of the Chinese aviation market that's a big threat and loss to them

Boeing and Airbus is probably not worried about the international open market competition

the competition is from with inside China, the Chinese market needs 1000s of aircraft in next 25 years and probably it accounts for most of Boeing and Airbus orders anyway

so C-Series will take orders away from these two but inside the Chinese market so less money going out of the country for China and more money for R&D for future development and less sales for Boeing and Airbus but from within China

outside China many nations don't buy based on aircraft but the political situation too just like military exports are based on political alliances
