Engines, landing gear, APUs, electronic components, and structures require inspections, repairs, and replacements throughout their operational lives.
speaker_0HOST
Regional growth, therefore, cannot be measured solely by aircraft orders placed with Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, or Comac.
speaker_0HOST
It is equally important to consider how much of the economic value subsequently generated by these aircraft remains within Asia.
speaker_0HOST
Singapore maintains a particularly strong position, thanks to decades of specialization.
Shane BiggamHOST
The C909 has flown over 1.1 million hours, carried more than 40 million passengers, and become the mainstay of China's regional aviation market, linking 13 neighboring countries.
Shane BiggamHOST
The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China says the C-929 is in its detailed design phase, and the company is also developing hybrid electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
Shane BiggamHOST
Chinese authorities say the country has made full preparations for purchasing autumn grain.
Shane BiggamHOST
The government has set a minimum price for wheat.
Alan JoyceGUEST
I wouldn't bet against the Chinese.
Alan JoyceGUEST
They'll probably get there eventually, but nobody's ordering the Comair aircraft that they have.
Alan JoyceGUEST
You've really got two horses in this race today, and you want both of them to be there.
Alan JoyceGUEST
I think they made a lot of strategic, apart from the quality issues, I think Boeing made a lot of strategic mistakes.

Eric OlanderGUEST
So we're down significantly from where we were, you know, five, 10 years ago, much even three years ago.
Glenn van ZutphenHOST
Shibring airline officials, one would assume they're from COMAC, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Glenn van ZutphenHOST
And of course, they have the C919, which is their kind of answer to the A320 or the 737.
Glenn van ZutphenHOST
It's flying widely throughout China.
Eric OlanderGUEST
Just like cars.
Eric OlanderGUEST
You'll never see the C-919 in the United States.
Eric OlanderGUEST
The reason why COMAC is there is because COMAC relies on U.S. aviation parts.
Eric OlanderGUEST
It's not an indigenous Chinese plane.
Jay ShabatHOST
But you can't just pick up the phone with Seattle and say, you know, "Hey, send my..." There, there's a lot of politics involved in that.
Jay ShabatHOST
They're also forced to fly these Chinese-built COMAC planes, which at this stage anyway, are, have nowhere near the same economic efficiency, the same fuel efficiency as, let's say, a 737 MAX or an A321neo, you know.
Jay ShabatHOST
So a little bit suboptimal on the fleet.
Jay ShabatHOST
And then there's been a lot of, you know, I think, I think the economy in China, uh, is just growing a lot more slowly than it was, you know, if you go, you go back during the 2010s, for example.
Ken ChesterHOST
There are only two rivals in this marketplace.
Ken ChesterHOST
You got Boeing, you got Airbus, which is European, and you got China's Comac, which you're trying to break into the marketplace.
Ken ChesterHOST
And in fact, Comac has its own blended wing design that it's trying to perfect.
Ken ChesterHOST
So certainly Jet Zero is not alone.
Ken ChesterHOST
But if it tells you anything, one thing that you should know, 20 airlines, including Delta, Alaska, and United, have a conditional order combined of 200 of these.

Riaan van SchoorHOST
Back to another topic which I follow with a lot of interest.
Riaan van SchoorHOST
I don't know why Anne and Ash is not so interested in this, but the COMAC, the Chinese manufacturer, one of their first planes, the C919 model, made international history.
Riaan van SchoorHOST
They flew for the first time outside of China and they actually operated a route to Mongolia.
Riaan van SchoorHOST
With 120-odd passengers on board, a very successful flight there and back, no problems.
Joe LynamHOST
It manufactures its planes all over Europe and even makes wings for the 220 range in Belfast these days.
Joe LynamHOST
But are the planes getting any greener? And how will Airbus and Boeing handle the growing competition from China's Comac? And will they ever sell any aircraft to Ryanair? Antonio da Costa is the vice president for market analysis with Airbus, and he is on the line.
Joe LynamHOST
Good morning, Antonio.
Antonio da CostaGUEST
Good morning, Joe.
5 MINS LATER
Antonio da CostaGUEST
As you can imagine, these are always very delicate subjects.
Antonio da CostaGUEST
So we'll just need to see if there's something happening.
Joe LynamHOST
Now, China's Comac aircraft is making better and better planes, and China may soon start ordering their airlines to buy only them.
Joe LynamHOST
Would that impact your business?
