The COMAC ARJ21 is a regional jet airliner developed and manufactured by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). First flying in 2007 and entering service in 2016, the ARJ21 represents China's first domestically-designed and produced regional aircraft. With typical seating for 78-90 passengers, it targets the regional aviation market for routes up to 3,700 kilometers. The aircraft features two Rolls-Royce engines and modern avionics systems designed for operations from shorter airfields. Primarily operated by Chinese carriers including Chengdu Airlines and Air Guilin, the ARJ21 serves domestic routes throughout Asia. The aircraft offers competitive economics for regional operators and represents a significant achievement in Chinese commercial aviation development. Production continues with ongoing orders from Chinese airlines and potential international operators, though international adoption remains limited due to certification barriers and established competition from Bombardier and Embraer regional jets.
