China staged a low-key but historic debut of its C919 civil jet at its biggest air show on Tuesday, with some delegates unable to attend the scaled-down event because of Beijing’s zero-COVID policy as cases reached the highest level in six months.
In a reminder of the continuing health crisis slowing China’s return to global aviation, organizers of Airshow China in the southern city of Zhuhai had urged attendees to arrive three days early because of coronavirus disease 2019 precautions.
“Zhuhai is of intense interest to China aviation spotters, and missing the show is a significant lost opportunity for those seeking to understand China’s opaque commercial and defense aerospace sectors,” said Greg Waldron, Asia managing editor of FlightGlobal. By contrast, the sun was setting in China on Tuesday on one of Europe’s most visible global symbols, the double-decker A380.
Airbus on Tuesday formally booked an order for 40 A320neo-family jets from all-Boeing operator Xiamen Airlines.
