Great pics - this aircraft may be able to offer the economies operators in India and Pakistan seek - and what an excellent beginning and example for a unified, integrated Asia.

Personally I think darker coloured seats might be better, as on most airline planes , since they do get dirty often. Otherwise it looks pretty good

No surprise as the exterior paint job of above ARJ21s is as idiotic as ever.

Just curious, why China keeps hiring 5-year-olds to do those designs?

This would bring Airbus and Boeing prices crashing down. Good initiative by Chinese.

not likely, boeing and airbus does not produce regional jet. It will challenge embraer and bombardier though.

BEIJING - The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), a state-owned aircraft manufacturer, has signed an agreement to sell two ARJ21-700 aircraft to the Myanmar Airways, a statement from the country's state-assets supervisor said.

The value of the deal was not revealed in the statement posted Friday on the website of country's State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

The delivery time for the two models were also not disclosed, but the statement said the signing of the agreement has marked big progress made by COMAC in promoting the ARJ21 aircraft to the overseas markets.

The statement added the agreement has paved the way for the long-term cooperation between COMAC and Myanmar Airways in the future.

The ARJ21 is China's first homegrown commercial regional aircraft, which earlier made an international debut at the Zhuhai air show in November last year.

The 78- to 90-seat craft has a maximum flight range of 3,700 kilometers and maximum altitude of 11,900 meters. The statement said COMAC plans to deliver its first ARJ21-700 regional aircraft to its first client, the Chengdu Airlines.

Can this plane compete with the Russian made superjet sukhoi-100???

I have heard many stereotype from the West about the Russian one and I don't know what they view about the ARJ-21-700!?
