TechPassenger jet seen as China’s answer to Boeing and Airbus set for first international flight

The Comac C919 is scheduled to make its first international flight on Wednesday, flying from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It is due to leave Beijing Capital International Airport at 3pm and arrive in the Mongolian capital slightly more than two hours later. Experts caution that China may need generations before the aircraft can seriously challenge western dominance of the commercial aviation industry it seeks to enter.
