Issue is that it only flies within China and Hong Kong, so at none of the playable airports it would be a realistic addition. Plus, looks like it won’t be certified by EASA soon, so it won’t be selling internationally the next couple of years > European approval for China's C919 plane needs 3-6 years, regulator says | Reuters

Other than that, I’m all for variety and more realism :slight_smile:

The Chinese model will not be incorporated into the game since it is not yet certified by Europe or the United States, so we will not see it for at least a few years until that happens, however it is a good suggestion, just wait.
