The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (Comac) is a Chinese state-owned aerospace manufacturer established on 11 May 2008 in Shanghai, China. The company has a registered capital of RMB 19 billion (US$2.7 billion as of May 2008). The government-owned corporation is a designer and constructor of large passenger aircraft capacities of over 150 passengers, in an effort aimed at reducing the China's dependency on Boeing and Airbus.

The first jet to be marketed is the ARJ21 developed by AVIC I, which will be followed by the C919 planned for release in 2016. The company head office is in Pudong, Shanghai.

The C919, which can seat up to 168 passengers, is meant to compete in the market for single-aisle jets dominated by Airbus Industrie's A320 and Boeing Co.'s 737.
