 SHANGHAI, China (AP) - China's top leaders have approved a program to build large commercial aircraft, lending crucial government support to plans to challenge the domination of Boeing and Airbus in the country's fast-growing aviation market.
A Cabinet meeting held last month approved "in principle" setting up a formal program to build large commercial aircraft, according to a statement seen Monday on the Web site of the State Council Information Office.
It said the decision followed a report by a group set up six months earlier to research the feasibility of the project.
