The internationalization journey of China's homegrown large aircraft, the C919, has achieved a significant milestone. Technicians and test pilots from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have been stationed in Shanghai for an extended duration, focusing specifically on conducting airworthiness certification testing for the C919. This certification represents a crucial step for the C919 to gain entry into the international mainstream market. Presently, the testing phase has reached its final stage.

The EASA team has meticulously conducted exhaustive validation of the C919 across all its systems and operational conditions. This includes rigorous assessments of core areas such as structural integrity and flight control systems. During the test flights, the C919 demonstrated exceptional performance, successfully navigating through all stringent tests with flying colors.

Should the C919 successfully secure EASA certification, it will acquire the proverbial 'passport' to enter the European and global mainstream markets. This achievement would mark a significant breakthrough, challenging the longstanding duopoly of Boeing and Airbus and reshaping the competitive landscape of the global civil aviation market.
