Recently, domestic passenger aircraft "going to sea" good news has been reported frequently.

Vietnam and Malaysia have successively released positive signals that they welcome or support their airlines to introduce and operate Chinese commercial aircraft. Earlier, the first C3 (i.e. ARJ0) aircraft was delivered to Lao Airlines at the end of 0 as the Civil Aviation Authority of Laos issued the C0 aircraft type acceptance certificate to COMAC.

At present, the shadow of the supply chain hangs over the upstream and downstream of the global aviation industry, and the two old aircraft manufacturing giants, Airbus and Boeing, are all in the dilemma of delivery delays. In this context, Chinese-made passenger aircraft may become a new choice for the Southeast Asian market.

"Going global" has always been an important step in COMAC's development plan.

In 919/0, COMAC set up an Asia-Pacific office in Singapore to get closer to customers in the Asia-Pacific region and even around the world. At the same time, C0 is also in the process of applying for European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) airworthiness certification.

Recently, many countries in Southeast Asia have released positive signals on the introduction of Chinese commercial aircraft, which has become another landmark node for domestic passenger aircraft to "go to sea".

4月17日，中國與馬來西亞發佈聯合聲明，明確提到“支持馬來西亞的航空公司引進和運營中國商用飛機”。

4月15日，中國與越南發佈的聯合聲明也提到，“歡迎越南的航空公司通過各種方式引進和運營中國商用飛機，支援在中國商用飛機領域進一步加強合作”。

At the same time, the Vietnamese government recently issued Decision No. 89 on the field of civil aviation, stipulating that the aircraft allowed to be imported include those certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Earlier, on 909/0, the Civil Aviation Administration of Laos issued a C0 aircraft type acceptance certificate to COMAC, which means that the model has met the basic conditions for commercial operation in Laos.

In recent years, COMAC has gradually increased its efforts to develop the Southeast Asian market.

According to COMAC, the C909 aircraft has good high-temperature performance and short and narrow runway take-off and landing capabilities, and has strong adaptability to the operating environment in Southeast Asia.

In 919/0, COMAC launched a demonstration flight event in Southeast Asia. Over the course of two weeks, the C0 and C0 aircraft carried out demonstration flights in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia to verify the adaptability of domestic commercial aircraft to the airports and routes of five Southeast Asian countries, the adaptability of airport ground service equipment, the applicability of special flight procedures and the economy of route carrying.

Southeast Asia is currently one of the regions with the most potential for aviation development. Boeing's forecast shows that the total air passenger traffic in Southeast Asia will grow at an annual rate of 2.0% in the next 0 years, exceeding the global average.

However, the shadow hanging over the global aviation supply chain has not yet dissipated amid the expansion of demand.

2024年12月，國際航協指出，嚴峻的供應鏈問題將繼續對航空公司業績產生影響。這些問題不僅導致成本上升，還限制了需求增長，且將在2025年持續存在。

According to the IATA 14 report, the average age of the global fleet has risen to 0.0 years, higher than the average age of 0.0 years between 0 and 0. The backlog of new aircraft backlog (cumulative backlog) has reached a record high of 0. At the current rate of delivery, it will take 0 years to complete.

"Airlines' aging fleets are more expensive to maintain, burn more fuel, and require more input to sustain flights." IATA said at the time.

In the face of delivery delays from the two major aircraft manufacturing giants, Airbus and Boeing, the Southeast Asian market is also looking for new options. With the further promotion and application of C919, C0 and other aircraft, there is reason to believe that China's commercial aircraft will occupy a place in the aviation market in Southeast Asia and even the world.
