China-based Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and Boeing Co (NYSE: BA) signed an agreement to expand cooperation on their joint research center.
Citing the state media Shanghai Securities News, Reuters reported that the pact aims to support aviation’s sustainable development further.
The deal comes as Boeing remains determined to maintain a strong presence in China, even though it no longer factors the country into its financial forecasts because China will not accept deliveries of new MAX planes.
COMAC said it had secured 330 orders for its C919 narrowbody and ARJ21 regional jets and raised its 20-year aircraft demand forecast at the Zhuhai airshow.
No delivery dates were provided.

The Chinese plane maker’s forecast is higher than Boeing’s, which predicted last month that China would require 8,485 new planes in the next 20 years.
Boeing forecasts China would need 6,370 single-aisle airplanes to support its growing network of international and domestic routes in that time, while COMAC said that 6,896 such planes would be needed.
Price Action: BA shares are down 0.08% at $169.48 during the premarket session on the last check Wednesday.

A state-owned Chinese commercial jet manufacturer set up to try to compete with Boeing and Airbus says it has secured orders for 300 of its first long-range jetliners from Chinese leasing companies. Orders for the single-aisle C919 were announced Thursday by Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China during the Zhuhai air show in southern China. COMAC also announced 30 orders for its shorter-range ARJ21 jet.
Emirates, a launch customer for Boeing's 777 freighter, has ordered more of the jets. The order comes as Emirates is increasingly impatient over the 777X program.
BERLIN (Reuters) -Auto parts supplier Continental beat expectations on Thursday with a 47% jump in third-quarter operating profit as price hikes and a strong recovery in auto production offset rising energy and logistics costs. The company maintained its outlook for the year and said its supplier network in its home market of Germany was stable, but warned the overall business environment was still highly volatile. Continental is on track to reduce its own natural gas consumption in Germany by 20% by the end of the year as promised, Chief Financial Officer Katja Duerrfeld said, amid pressure on German companies to lower their intake in light of a cut in supplies from Russia.
A problem with a vendor in the supply chain of Wichita-based Spirit AeroSystems Inc. slowed delivery activity for the Boeing Co. last month. Boeing this week reported 35 aircraft deliveries for October, down from 51 deliveries in September as handovers of its 737 MAX jet fell from 36 to 22 sequentially. The slip comes as Boeing works to stabilize production of its best-selling MAX at 31 aircraft per month, with commercial airplanes unit CEO Stan Deal attributing the decline at the company’s investor day last week to a problem with its fuselage supplier.

The U.N. General Assembly scheduled a vote for Monday on a resolution that would call for Russia to be held accountable for violating international law by invading Ukraine, including by paying reparations.

Boeing Co urged regulators on Tuesday to subject a new generation of air taxis to the same strict safety standards as commercial jets, saying the aircraft designed for short flights on demand should not be judged on a par with small planes. Boeing Chief Strategy Officer Marc Allen's address at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) marks the U.S. planemaker's first intervention on such issues in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) market. "We have to unify around the importance of bringing all advanced air mobility vehicles and operating systems to market with airliner levels of safety, with air transport levels of safety, with commercial levels of safety," he said at ICAO's Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Symposium.

Consumer prices in Russia rose slightly for the seventh consecutive week at the start of November, data published on Wednesday showed, as the central bank tries to balance competing inflationary pressures across the economy. Russia's consumer price index rose 0.01% in the week to Nov. 7, the Rosstat federal statistics service said. Russia's economy is caught between short-term disinflationary pressures – aggravated by the call-up of more than 300,000 reservists to support Moscow's military operations in Ukraine – and longer-term trends that are likely to see prices rise, the central bank has warned.

PARIS (Reuters) -Airbus deliveries accelerated in October to reach 497 airplanes so far this year, or an underlying total of 495 after excluding two Aeroflot deliveries cancelled due to Western sanctions against Russia, the planemaker said on Tuesday. Airbus delivered 60 jets in October, up from 55 the previous month. It still has what most analysts have called a stretching but broadly achievable task to reach a target of 700 deliveries in 2022, following problems with tattered global supply chains.
