COMAC’s C919 begins Beijing–Ulaanbaatar international service amid Boeing orders
A Beijing–Ulaanbaatar service is set to run daily, marking the first time the narrow-body aircraft has flown beyond Chinese territory. The move supports China’s effort to expand COMAC’s presence against Boeing and Airbus, though Chinese airlines still depend on U.S. jets. China confirmed an order for 200 Boeing planes plus engines and spare parts, reflecting continued reliance while COMAC deliveries lag.
