China's state-owned aircraft manufacturer Commercial Aircraft Corp of China Ltd (COMAC) said in a statement on Tuesday that it has signed a framework agreement to sell 30 of its C-919 passenger jets to Everbright Financial Leasing.

中国商飞周二发布一份声明表示，该公司已与光大金融租赁签署一份出售30架C-919客机的框架协议。

The deal brings the total number of orders for the C-919 to 600 across 24 customers.

The C-919 is China's attempt to break the Boeing and Airbus duopoly in the lucrative narrow-body aircraft market.

The Chinese plane made its maiden flight in May.
