C909
Overview
China's first domestically developed short- to medium-range turbofan regional airliner. The C909 is optimized for 78 to 97 seats, short and narrow runways, and demanding high-temperature or plateau operations, making it COMAC's current spearhead for regional export expansion in Southeast Asia, with growing derivative interest in medical-rescue and firefighting configurations.
In scheduled service in China and Southeast Asia, with ~182 cumulative deliveries by end of 2025. Nine C909s operate in Southeast Asia through TransNusa, Lao Airlines, and Chengdu Airlines after Vietjet ended its 6-month wet-lease in October 2025. Air Cambodia's September 2025 MoU for up to 20 aircraft (10 firm + 10 options) is the largest C909 order outside China, and Shanxi Victory General Aviation signed at Singapore Airshow 2026 for up to six firefighting C909s — the variant's first dedicated order.
