Ryanair mira al C919 chino como alternativa a Boeing

✈️ Ryanair, by 2030, considers incorporating Comac aircraft to pressure Boeing and Airbus for faster production. CEO Michael O'Leary targets Comac as a potential supplier, pending increased production and necessary certifications. Comac currently produces around 60 C919s annually, lagging behind Boeing's monthly output of 43 737 MAX. The C919, under evaluation by EASA, holds about 1,000 orders, but only 31 units are operational. Ryanair's fleet demands may not align with Comac's current 180-seat configuration.
