China’s challenger to Boeing Co. and Airbus SAS expects to announce the first order for its single-aisle passenger plane next week, breaking into a market that may be worth $1.68 trillion over 20 years.
Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China plans to announce the C919 deal at Airshow China, held in the southern city of Zhuhai, Yuan Wenfeng, deputy general manager at its program management department, said by phone last week. He declined to say how large the order will be or who the customer is.
