Aviation Industry Corporation Of China

China has completed production of the world's largest amphibious aircraft after seven years of work, which it plans to use to perform marine rescue missions and fight forest fires, the Xinhua news agency reported.

China's first big passenger plane rolled off the assembly line on Monday as the Asian giant seeks to develop its own aviation sector and challenge foreign industry giants for prestige and market share.

As a financial crunch continues to trouble SpiceJet, aircraft leasing firm BOC Aviation said on Friday that the low-cost carrier is "almost" regular with its payments.

The announcement comes on the day Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in India, where the two countries are expected to sign trade and investment deals worth billions of dollars.
