China aircraft exports are cleared under FAA deal just before Trump's arrival
Just ahead of US president Donald Trump's visit to China, the FAA has signed an airworthiness certification deal that effectively opens the door to Chinese sales of airplanes to the US and other countries. The agreement boosts Beijing's hopes of becoming a global supplier of commercial jetliners and of breaking open a market currently dominated by Boeing and Airbus. "It is a really big deal; a milestone in the US-China relationship," Geoffrey Jackson, executive director of the US-China Aviation Cooperation Program, a Beijing-based body created by the US govt and aerospace companies, said of the agreement. The FAA confirmed the agreement Oct 27, 4 days after its announcement by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. <br/>
