期望落空！C919欧洲适航证“黄了”！EASA正式告知：短期内不可能

Group 1 - The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has delayed the certification of China's C919 aircraft, pushing the expected date from 2025 to potentially between 2028 and 2031, indicating a strategic move by Airbus and Boeing to hinder China's aviation industry [1][3] - The C919 has successfully operated in domestic routes for over two years, transporting 420,000 passengers without incidents, yet EASA claims the technology is not mature enough, which raises questions about the validity of their technical review process [1][3] - The pricing of the C919 is significantly lower than its competitors, with a price of $99 million, which is 10% cheaper than the Airbus A320 Neo and 15% cheaper than the Boeing 737 MAX, posing a threat to the market share of Airbus and Boeing in Europe [3][5] Group 2 - Boeing is facing significant challenges, including the return of three Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and increased prices due to tariffs, leading European airlines like Ryanair to consider purchasing the C919 instead [5] - The C919's domestic production rate has reached 60%, and the Longjiang-1000A engine will enable it to become independent from Western technology, further enhancing its competitiveness [5] - China is actively seeking alternative markets, having signed bilateral airworthiness agreements with 27 countries, and is expanding its international presence through initiatives like establishing maintenance centers in the UAE and assembly lines in Indonesia [8][12] Group 3 - The delay in certification by EASA is inadvertently accelerating China's efforts to establish a regional airworthiness system, which could lead to a significant shift in the global aircraft procurement landscape [12] - The competition between China and established players like Airbus and Boeing is framed as a struggle for dominance in the aviation industry, with China's vast domestic market and technological advancements serving as key advantages [12] - The C919's potential failure to secure European certification is not seen as a setback for China's aviation ambitions, as the industry continues to grow and innovate beyond the constraints of existing regulations [12]
