Attendance of more exhibitors is still being confirmed.

Since Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), China's largest aerospace manufacturer, said it plans to bring its independently developed AG600 to the event, many other leading domestic aviation players have confirmed their own intentions. Here’s a look at what to expect.

Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC)

AVIC’s family of large aircraft, which includes the Y-20 transporter, C919 passenger aircraft and AG600 amphibious plane will lead the lineup. COMAC, manufacturer of the C919, will also showcase a full-size prototype of the CR929 long-range wide-body passenger aircraft as well as its ARJ21 regional jets. The latter will put on both static displays and demonstration flights.

Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC)

State-owned AECC will dedicate around 1,300 sq m (140,000 sq ft) of exhibition area to its achievements in aero-engine technology.
