Summary
The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC, ) is a Chinese state-owned aerospace manufacturer established on 11 May 2008 in Shanghai. The headquarters are in Pudong, Shanghai. The company has a registered capital of RMB 19 billion ( as of May 2008). The corporation is a designer and constructor of large passenger aircraft with capacities of over 150 passengers.
The first jet to be marketed is the ARJ21 developed by China Aviation Industry Corporation I, which will be followed by the C919, which made its maiden flight in 2017 and has attracted interest from Chinese airlines. The C919, which can seat up to 168 passengers, is meant to compete in the market for single-aisle jets.
COMAC, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, was established on 11 May 2008 in Shanghai. It was established jointly by Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Aluminum Corporation of China, Baosteel Group Corporation, Sinochem Group, Shanghai Guosheng Corporation Limited, and State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
In January 2021, the United States government named COMAC as a company "owned or controlled" by the People's Liberation Army and thereby prohibited any American company or individual from investing in it. Later it was removed by the Biden administration.
For all models sold beginning with the Comac C919, COMAC's naming system for commercial airliners has taken the form of 9X9.
As of 16 July 2023.
On 24 March 2011, Comac and the Canadian company Bombardier Inc. signed a framework agreement for a long-term strategic cooperation on commercial aircraft.
Products included in the programme include:
Bombardier CRJ-series

In May 2017, Bombardier and Comac began holding talks about an investment into Bombardier's passenger jet business.
On 23 September 2015, Boeing announced plans to build a Boeing 737 completion and finishing plant in China. The facility will be used to paint exteriors and install interiors into airframes built in the United States.
