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 is set to enter operations in the second half of 2026, and Shanxi Victory General Aviation signed at Singapore Airshow 2026 for up to six firefighting C909s — the variant's first dedicated order.
