CHINA'S first homemade regional jet, the ARJ21, will delay its delivery again to the end of next year due to some "subtle" problems during its testing and certification, a senior official of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China said yesterday.
It was the third delivery delay of the jet that was initially scheduled to be delivered in 2007, but later rescheduled to the end of 2011.
"Chengdu Airlines will take over the first batch of ARJ21 by the end of 2013," said Tian Min, chief financial officer of COMAC.
Tian said the ARJ21 had begun its testing and certification process by the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the US Federal Aviation Administration.
"However the processes encountered some small problems, not serious, and the overall process is still going smoothly," Tian said at the annual Farnborough International Airshow in the UK.
There are 208 orders for the 90-seat jet from domestic and overseas buyers.
