ARJ21 by AVIC - Aviation Industries of China

ARJ21 is a regional jet will be soon sold to Chinese airliners. Passenger Capacity is around 80, flight range is between 2.200km and 3.700km made for regional flights.

Embraer E-Jets already sold to Chinese airliners, how ARJ21 will be successful? The answer is the price. Without considering Embraer 3 decades of successful leading regional jet market both reliability and maintenance service, ARJ21's price is listed about 20% lower than the same sides of Embraer E-Jets or Sukhoi Superjet. Chinese market is expected quicker growth despite recent concern. Domestic flights will be the next stage for business and transportation demand from the Chinese market. Besides, aviation market is often influenced by politics. There are quite some pro-China nations around the world, mainly providing them resources, those nations are either poor or managing difficult relations with western nations, otherwise I do not believe this ARJ21 will be easily seen in western nations even the price is cheap.
