From the original Reuters article I already posted... With the cracks in the stablisers, gearbox shutdowns, leaking oil and vibrations it is no wonder C919 is nowhere near certification. It isn't even safe to fly.

As of October 2019: 1. B787 - 1,455 2. A350 - 959 Do you see a trend? Boeing is starting to lose in all segments.

The cancellation of A380 has only boosted production of the A350. The 787 is reducing production from 14 to 12 units due to reduced demand and poor quality controls. Airbus is winning the battle of wide-bodies. Airbus has already decimated Boeing in the war for single aisle as Boeing threatens...

Too bad for the UK, all of those jobs in France are transferring to A350s and A320s to increase production rates and they still don't have enough. Even China is getting a piece of A320 production for Asian customers to meet the high demand. The A350 made the A380 obsolete.

So even after tariffs on Airbus we have 100 aircraft going to Spirit and the news today... United orders 50 new Airbus long-range jets to replace Boeing 757s DECEMBER 3, 2019 CHICAGO (Reuters) - United Airlines Holdings Inc (UAL.O) announced on Tuesday an order for 50 Airbus SE (AIR.PA)...

Let us look at the remnants of those empires today. France has the world's largest EEZ and a thriving overseas population that has much higher GDP than their neighbours and for that reason won't leave. British colonies are largely uninhabited islands that they lease to the Americans. The...

You did indeed surrender to France and ceded all of Indochine. When you stepped out of line we destroyed Yuanmingyuan and the CCP has left it as a monument of national shame to remind you of your weakness. In modern times China builds replicas of the Eiffel Tower and Paris because they wish...

You just said they were getting ready to conclude a trade deal. That will mean you have surrendered to their demands. China has an entire century of humiliation surrendering to France... has France ever surrendered to China? I have seen your most popular movie about the Sino-French War and I...

Whatever it takes to dominate the US market. Whatever it takes to dominate the Chinese market. Wait... so China has fallen to their knees and accepted Trump's harsh trade terms? The EU just placed reciprocal tariffs on the US but it looks like China has surrendered.

@amoy I am just trying to figure out why you posted ATR news in a Comac thread. Do you fear even more competition from France as we dominate Chinese aviation markets? We own half of your commercial airliner market, we dominate your helicopter market and now ATR is coming in for regional...

How is yet another French aircraft manufacturer expanding into China good for Comac?

Boeing is expected to fork out $1.5 billion in compensations for the MAX issues. It is chicken scratch for a company as big as Boeing. Rolls Royce paid out more for issues with their garbage Trent engines.
