C919: Flying Junk? Even Vietnam Won't Touch It!
China's C919 aircraft, heavily promoted by the Chinese government as the first completely "domestic" plane, actually has poor quality and frequent issues. Most of its main parts come from the US, and it hasn't received airworthiness certificates from Europe or the US.
Recently, Vietnam Airlines faced a shortage of planes due to engine maintenance problems, causing a spike in domestic ticket prices. During a shareholders' meeting, shareholders asked if Vietnam Airlines would consider buying the C919 to address the shortage. According to Vietnam News, CEO Le Hong Ha said they are closely watching the C919's progress in getting global airworthiness certification. Currently, only Chinese authorities have certified it, suggesting Vietnam Airlines is not considering purchasing the C919 yet.

@@fabferrari Yeah, but those crashes likely would not have occured had the pilots been Western trained. The dirty truth is that the men were not as experienced and the regretable crashes occured because of that. A similar incident/incidents did not result in a crash due to the response to the problem. Also, the issue itself was software, not parts related, I'm pretty sure.

@@matthewmosier8439 I agree with you that we are facing a typical case of "Swiss cheese model" of accident cause. It's also a matter of fact that from the engineering standpoint the design concept was stretched way too much and it was used an "electronic trick" to overcome the technical issues. The lack of training was also part of the Boeing responsibility. In fact the investigation of the U.S. Department of Justice proved that Boeing advertised the new airplane as not needed to extra training for the pilots.

Boeing is responsible for a number of accidents that cost the lives of hundreds of people and could have been avoided. News flash, China had nothing to do with it. This was all through the incompetency from Boeing. Look for another reason to trash talk the Chinese aircraft. Using Boeing is redundant as Boeing is now a dangerous manufacturing company. Only there for profits.

The China C919 airliner is a “FLYING JUNK” riddled with serious flaws mechanically, reliability, maintenance factors all impacting safety. Airworthiness obviously is of highest priority which DOES NOT EXISTS today in China.
“Even” is not necessary here. The Vietnamese populace are among the most skeptical of China in the world so any airline in Vietnam operates Chinese-made planes, they will likely face a boycott so the airline bosses know it.
