90 Chinese ARJ-21 jets ordered at UK air show
Print Edition
THE first Chinese-made regional passenger jet, the ARJ21-700, has received 90 new orders at Britain’s Farnborough International Airshow, the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) said yesterday.
China Aircraft Leasing Ltd has signed to acquire 60 ARJ21 aircraft for around US$2.3 billion. This is the largest order of the aircraft since its commercial operations on June 28. One of the leasing firm’s investors, Friedmann Pacific Asset, will invest in an Indonesian-based airline and help build up its ARJ21 fleet.
Meanwhile, the Aviation Industry Corp of China Leasing Co, or AVIC Leasing, signed a purchase agreement for 30 ARJ21 aircraft with COMAC at the air show, which ends on Sunday.
The 90-seat regional jet has received around 400 orders.
COMAC is attending the air show for the fourth time to present the development progress of the ARJ21 and the Chinese-made single-aisle C919, the planemaker said yesterday.
