aircraft to domestic and overseas customers, a new high in the

Development Institute, said in a media interview on March 6 that
the markets for the Y-12 and the Z-9 are booming as a result of

the Y-12. Overseas markets include Asia, Africa, Central
America, Oceania and North America through long-term strategic
cooperation with CATIC and AVIC International.
