flag Nigeria is reviewing China’s COMAC C919 jet for domestic use to diversify suppliers and strengthen ties with Beijing.

flag Nigeria’s aviation authority is reviewing certification of China’s COMAC C919 jet for use by domestic airlines, aiming to diversify aircraft suppliers and strengthen ties with Beijing. flag The C919, designed to compete with Boeing and Airbus models, has not yet gained approval from Western regulators, and COMAC is offering training, maintenance, and dry lease options to support adoption. flag While Nigerian carriers show interest, challenges remain, including lack of local maintenance infrastructure and U.S. restrictions on key engines. flag The move reflects Nigeria’s growing aviation market and its potential role in testing new global aviation players amid U.S.-China competition.
