中國商飛公司擬與國際航空巨頭建立聯合工作組

在業內頗具盛名的英國范堡羅航展7月9日正式開幕，遠赴英倫參展的中國大型客機研制單位中國商用飛機有限責任公司(中國商飛公司)與當今世界最大航空集團公司之一的國際航空集團，在航展現場簽署諒解備忘錄，雙方擬建立聯合工作組，推進務實交流與合作。

London (CNS) -- The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC) and the International Airlines Group (IAG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the Farnborough International Airshow 2012 on Monday local time.

The MoU includes items for cooperative effort: technology and operation requirements, regulations, financing, and client and product services for the former's C919 large passenger aircraft.

IAG CEO Willie Walsh addressed the crowd at the signing ceremony saying that he has been following the development process of the C919 since 2008 when COMAC was founded and is convinced that COMAC will become a competent manufacturer on par with Boeing and Airbus.

The world's largest airlines company, IAG, was created by a merger of British Airways and Spanish Iberia Airlines in 2011. It owns a number of airline sub operations each with fleets of large 150-seater planes.
