There has been a spate of news about COMAC’s ambitious production plans. Reuters started the reporting with a story about 50 C919s for 2025. Other sources commented on COMAC’s expanding FAL in Shanghai to accommodate these plans. As the news percolated, the OEM aims at “at least 30” C919s for the year rather than 50. The quote is: “COMAC anticipates it will dispatch 30 units of the C919 this year with a production capacity scale of up to 50 units,” the company’s vice-president Shen Bo said on Friday,” according to news portal ThePaper.cn.
