This marks the first time the aircraft will be showcased to a global audience.
中國將在新加坡航展上展示其窄體客機Comac C919。這標誌着該飛機將首次向全球觀衆展出。
What Happened: The Comac C919, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac), is being positioned as a competitor to Boeing's 737 and the Airbus 320, reported CNBC. The aircraft was certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in September 2022.
發生了什麼：據CNBC報道，由中國商用飛機總公司（Comac）開發的Comac C919被定位爲波音737和空中客車320的競爭對手。該飛機於2022年9月獲得中國民用航空局的認證。
"Flying for the first time at the Singapore Airshow, is the C919, a narrow-body airliner developed by Chinese aircraft manufacturer Comac," said Singapore Airshow organizer and manager Experia Events.
新加坡航展組織者兼經理Experia Events表示：“中國飛機制造商Comac開發的窄體客機C919首次在新加坡航展上飛行。”
The air show, scheduled from Feb. 20 to 25, is expected to draw tens of thousands, including military delegations and aviation enthusiasts. Notable participants include Airbus, Boeing, Comac, and defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Dassault, SAAB, Leonardo, and Thales.
該航展定於2月20日至25日舉行，預計將吸引成千上萬的人，包括軍事代表團和航空愛好者。值得注意的參與者包括空中客車、波音、中國商飛和國防承包商，例如洛克希德·馬丁公司、達索、薩博、萊昂納多和泰雷茲。
"We expect to see full recovery in 2024. Longer term, the outlook continues to be bright, especially the Asia Pacific region, which will account for about half of the expected global passenger traffic in 2024," said Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA's senior vice president for sustainability and chief economist, according to the report.
“我們預計將在2024年看到全面復甦。報告稱，從長遠來看，前景仍然光明，尤其是亞太地區，該地區將佔2024年全球預期客運量的一半左右。” 國際航空運輸協會可持續發展高級副總裁兼首席經濟學家瑪麗·歐文斯·湯姆森說。
Why It Matters: The Comac C919's international debut at the Singapore Airshow is a significant development in China's aviation industry. This follows China's approval of Boeing's 737 MAX and an invitation to Boeing to expand its presence in the Chinese market. This signals a potential shift in the global aviation landscape.
爲何重要：Comac C919在新加坡航展上的國際首次亮相是中國航空業的重大發展。在此之前，中國批准了波音的737 MAX，並邀請波音擴大其在中國市場的影響力。這預示着全球航空格局的潛在轉變。
China's aviation ambitions have been on the rise, with the country's first domestically produced passenger airliner, the C919, making its maiden commercial flight in 2023. This development was accompanied by a surge in market interest in aviation stocks, with Cirrus Aircraft, a state-backed maker of smaller planes, aiming to become the first aircraft stock on the Hong Kong bourse.
中國的航空野心不斷增強，該國第一架國產客機C919於2023年進行了首次商業飛行。這一事態發展伴隨着市場對航空股的興趣激增，國家支持的小型飛機制造商Cirrus Aircraft的目標是成爲香港證券交易所的第一隻飛機股。
Analysts have also been anticipating an aftermarket supercycle in the aviation industry, driven by depressed aircraft production and the resurgence of travel. The Comac C919's international debut at the Singapore Airshow could be a key indicator of the industry's recovery and China's growing influence in the global aviation market.
分析師還預計，受飛機產量下降和旅行復蘇的推動，航空業將出現售後超級週期。Comac C919在新加坡航展上的國際首次亮相可能是該行業復甦以及中國在全球航空市場中影響力不斷增強的關鍵指標。
