The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) is currently experiencing a slowdown in aircraft production due to a global shortage of Western-made engine components. Comac is actively engaging with suppliers in Europe and North America to secure critical parts for its C919 passenger jet. The company is deploying specialized teams to establish communication with these suppliers and expedite the delivery of Leap-1C engines. This situation is impacting the overall timeline for C919 deliveries, with potential delays anticipated as the supply chain stabilizes. The manufacturer is focusing on mitigating the impact and maintaining production commitments.
