For N registered stuff – I think FAR 135 covers non-commercial flight crew needs for all private jets from A380 downwards…
I thought non-commercial private jets, if big, are under FAR 125. FAR 135 is commercial.
Indian government demands a jet!

The A340 interior can be found here:http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-China/Airbus-A340-313X/0818868/L/ If you stick to Air China then the plane on internal flight would be 737-800. Ditto about most of the many other airlines flying Beijing-Harbin. Air China interior is this:http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-China/Boeing-737-8Q8/1585451/L/

His parachute opened and he survived….
Got the engines in October – but EIS is delayed to 2011 3rd quarter or later:

Launched!
6 airlines have ordered 919. These are Air China, China Southern, China Eastern, Hainan, CLC ja GECAS. 50 orders and 50 options between the six. First flight in 2014, EIS in 2016:http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/11/16/349735/zhuhai-10-comac-announces-launch-c919-order-for-up-to-100-jets.html
The reason for the delay turns out to have been breaking the (Antonov) wing:http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp?topicName=zhuhai_2010&id=news/awx/2010/11/15/awx_11_15_2010_p0-269495.xml&headline=ARJ21%20Wing%20Problems%20Drive%20Program%20Delay
Zhuhai airshow
Sorry for thread neck romancy, but the news about 919 are infrequent these years. 919 mockup shall be seen at Zhuhai Airshow:http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/11/05/349329/china-special-c919-update.html

Airline
Considering A380 is airline rather than airliner, what is the name of their frequent flyer program?
Someone needs to buy the passenger 747-8.
Someone has: Lufthansa and Korean.
But no one has bought 747-8 who had not already bought A380. The choice is not A380 or 747-8 – the choice is just A380 or both A380 and B747-8.
