COMAC establishes finance lease company for C919 sales


The Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (COMAC) has launched an aircraft finance lease company with Pudong Development Bank and Shanghai International Group.
The new JV has a registered capital of CNY2.7 billion ($426 million). Pudong Development Bank is the controlling stakeholder with a 66.67% stake, COMAC holds 22.22% stake and Shanghai International Group holds 11.11% ownership.
Industry analysts say the new venture is expected to pave the way for COMAC to sell its C919 as the Chinese manufacturer explores the fast-growing domestic aircraft leasing market.
The C919 has won some orders from domestic banks’ finance lease companies. Last year the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC Leasing) placed a firm order for 45 C919s and the Bank of Communications Financial Leasing Co. ordered 30 C919s.
