Chinese state-owned aerospace manufacturer COMAC is stepping up promotion of its new business jet, likely in hopes that the type will eventually challenge offerings from established industry heavyweights like Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault.
The company showed off a completed version of the aircraft, known as the C909 COMAC Business Jet or CBJ, at an exhibition in Guangzhou, China, in October. About a month later, the CBJ made an appearance at the Dubai Airshow, its first before a primarily Western audience.
