Irkut MC-21 vs Comac C919: The Future of Regional Air Travel?
For many non-US and non-European airlines there are two major contenders for their future regional aircraft. The Irkut MC-21 and the Comac C919. This has caused many airlines to ask themselves "Irkut MC-21 vs Comac C919, which do we need?"
In many respects, the C919 and the MC-21 are akin to the 737 or the A320. As all four aircraft are short haul, narrow body airliners aimed at enticing low cost carriers as well as national airlines!
