COMAC C909 / ARJ21 Regional Aircraft Family

The COMAC C909 is a Chinese-developed regional-jet family introduced under the ARJ21 name and renamed commercially in 2024. The baseline aircraft serves short- and medium-range passenger routes, including operations from hot, high, short, and narrow runways. The same certified platform has expanded through passenger-to-freighter conversions and the CBJ business-jet derivative, giving the family roles beyond its original regional-airline mission.
