A Chinese aircraft manufacturer has been certified to mass produce the country's home-grown regional jetliner ARJ21-700.

国内一家飞机制造商日前获颁批量生产我国自产的喷气式支线客机ARJ21-700的许可证。

The Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) said it obtained the production license from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

中国商用飞机有限责任公司表示，该公司已经获得了中国民航局颁发的ARJ21-700飞机生产许可证。

The company plans to deliver five ARJ21-700 jetliners by the end of this year.

中国商飞计划在今年年底前交付5架ARJ21-700喷气式客机。

COMAC has received orders for 413 ARJ21-700 from 19 clients.

该公司已获得19家客户共计413架ARJ21-700飞机的订单。

Its first ARJ21-700 aircraft, with 90 economy seats, was delivered to Chengdu Airlines in late 2015. It has so far transported about 15,000 passengers, the company said.

据中国商飞介绍，该公司首架ARJ21-700飞机(设90个经济舱座位)于2015年年底交付成都航空，迄今已累计载客约1.5万人次。

China has in recent years sped up efforts to build its commercial aircraft. Besides ARJ21-700, COMAC has also made much larger jet C919, a narrow-body jumbo designed to rival Airbus' updated A320 and Boeing's new generation B737.

近年来，中国加快了建造商用飞机的努力。除了ARJ21-700之外，中国商飞还制造了更大的C919客机，这是一款窄体客机，旨在与空客A320和波音新一代B737竞争。

It has also set up a joint venture with a Russian state company to build wide-body passenger jets.

此外，该公司还与一家俄罗斯国有企业建立了合资企业，以建造宽体客机。
