Cirium forecasts Comac C919 to capture 5% of global fleet by 2045

Cirium projects Comac will hold 5% of global passenger fleet allocation by 2045, driven by strong domestic orders and narrowbody demand, while Airbus and Boeing retain 47% and 39% respectively. The forecast signals a gradual but notable shift in the commercial aviation duopoly, with China's state-backed manufacturer gaining a foothold. Uncertainty remains over certification and production ramp-up outside China.
