The corporation is a designer and constructor of large passenger aircraft with capacities of over 150 passengers.
The first aircraft marketed by Comac is theARJ21regional jet, which was developed byChina Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I). This was followed by theC919narrow-body aircraft, which can seat up to 168 passengers and made its maiden flight in 2017,[5] entering into commercial service in March 2023.[6]
The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) was established on 11 May 2008 in Shanghai. It was established jointly byAviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC),Aluminum Corporation of China,Baosteel Group Corporation,Sinochem Group, Shanghai Guosheng Corporation Limited, andState-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.[citation needed]
In January 2021, the United States government named Comac as a company "owned or controlled" by thePeople's Liberation Army (PLA) and therebyprohibited any American company or individual from investing in it.[7] In January 2025, Comac was added to aUnited States Department of Defense list of companies that allegedly work with the PLA.[8]
For all models beginning with the 919, Comac's naming system for commercial airliners has taken the form of 9X9.[citation needed] In November 2024, Comac rebranded the ARJ21 as the C909 to match the format of the other models.[9]
