COMAC was founded in May 2008, and has since grown to become what is today China's primary commercial aircraft manufacturer. COMAC has had relative success domestically with both the C909 regional aircraft and the larger C919 narrowbody aircraft,

Chinese planemaker COMAC plans to raise production capacity for its homegrown C919 single-aisle planes to 50 this year, a COMAC executive told a media outlet supported by the Shanghai government. COMAC Deputy General Manager Shen Bo also said the Shanghai-based state-owned firm aims to manufacture 30 C919 aircraft this year,

The state-owned company has a target of delivering 30 planes this year, scaling back a more ambitious target announced last year.
