The C919, China's first domestically-developed narrow-body jetliner, was first displayed at the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition.

Three hundred of China's first domestically-developed narrow-body civilian aircraft, C919, have been sold to seven leasing companies at the ongoing 2022 China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or Airshow China.

Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), a Shanghai-based aircraft manufacturer and the developer of C919, also secured orders for 30 ARJ21, China's first turbo-fan regional passenger jets.

COMAC believes the orders fully express the confidence of its leasing partners on the C919 and ARJ21 jetliners.

More than 740 domestic and overseas enterprises from 43 countries and regions are participating on-site or online in the airshow, which kicked off in Zhuhai City, southern Guangdong Province, on Tuesday and will run through Sunday.
