Air Asia and British Airways¹ have both been reported to be considering adding China's latest aircraft to their fleets.

据报道，亚洲航空公司与英国航空公司都在考虑购买中国造C919。

The C919 is built by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and offers a similar passenger capacity and range as rival aircraft made by Boeing and Airbus.

Both Air Asia and British Airways currently have large Airbus short-haul fleets. British Airways is owned by International Consolidated² Airlines Group (IAG) and so an order from the parent company could also see COMAC's aircraft flying for other IAG companies such as Aer Lingus and Iberia.

If the C919 is able to break the effective duopoly of these two firms, then airlines around the world will have an extra supplier to choose from when ordering new aircraft.

This should bring the prices of airliners³ down, and could ultimately result in lower ticket prices for passengers.

The aircraft also competes with regional jets such as the Embraer E-Jet, an aircraft used by a number of airlines in China for smaller markets.

The C919 is seen by analysts⁴ as a major step-forward in China being able to build competitive airliners domestically.

The news comes just two weeks after we revealed that budget airline Air Asia looks set to launch flights in China after an agreement was signed with a local partner.
