The number of ARJ21 new regional jet customers reached 21 and the total number of orders reached 453. It needs to point out that the orders that are currently obtained by C919 are still intent orders because the C919 is not yet certified for airworthiness. Recently, China Commercial Aircraft said it plans to put 6 aircrafts into test flight this year, aiming to complete the airworthiness certification of C919 within five years.
