Europe’s aviation regulator needs between three and six years to certify Chinese planemaker COMAC’s C919 single-aisle commercial jet, the agency’s executive director told a French publication on Monday. The C919 – designed to compete with best-selling narrow-body models of dominant planemakers Airbus and Boeing – entered service in China in 2023 after winning domestic safety certification in 2022. COMAC has previously said it was aiming for certification of the plane by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) this year, to help it start selling internationally.
