The aviation industry took a heavy hit in 2020, aircraft got grounded, flights got canceled, result, aircraft are sent to graveyards, with no hope to fly soon. An enormous amount of loss to the airline industry. but China is planning to sell its homemade aircraft to developing airlines and regions like Africa, where it can offer for much cheaper than Airbus and Boeing.
Boeing 737 MAX, which was restricted to flying since 2019, and China was the first to ground. This was enough for China to wander into other options, hence China brought its own product. 737 MAX recently got FAA’s approval to fly again, many countries waved flags for 737 MAX except China. China has claimed it wants to conduct final testing of its own before re-certifying the MAX. The reason behind this might be safety or it could be to enforce its own homemade aircraft.
