COMAC cuts 2025 C919 deliveries to 25 from 75, blaming supply‑chain and geopolitical pressures

COMAC has reduced its 2025 C919 production target from 75 to 25 aircraft — a two‑thirds cut — and regulatory filings show it has missed earlier delivery commitments to three operators. The manufacturer cites persistent supply‑chain constraints and geopolitical disruption to component supplies.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • COMAC has slashed 2025 output from 75 to 25 jets (a two‑thirds reduction) and regulatory filings show it has already missed its first‑half 2025 delivery target — a direct measure of programme slippage and operator impact.
  • The company attributes the cut to persistent supplier bottlenecks and geopolitically driven component constraints; similar issues are limiting other OEM ramp‑ups as supply‑chain constraints remain the primary limiter for aircraft production.
  • Reduced output and ongoing performance gaps, including a documented fuel‑burn disadvantage versus A320neo and 737 MAX 8, weaken COMAC’s ability to challenge Airbus/Boeing and complicate efforts to secure early export sales.
