AvInvestor wrote: Wrong comparison. The Comac-919 is a larger aircraft then the cseries & won't compete directly. Furthermore, these aircraft will only be competitive in the Chinese markets. Very few foreign carriers will be willing to purchase.

As well, just because the aircraft is schedule for first flight in May, doesn't mean it will be delivered any time soon! 
Comac has been trying to get their Arj-21 to market for a while have made very few deliveries despite the aircraft making it's first flight in 2008. I am not doubting the Chinese since they have made great technological pr Guess. But they still face a long road ahead.


..."The 158-seat C919 was originally scheduled to operate its maiden flight in 2014 followed by first delivery to Chengdu Airlines. However, the aircraft was not rolled out until October 2015 following program delays. COMAC said at the time it had been aiming for first flight in 2016".
