South Korean media: After Boeing aircraft were returned, two countries wanted to "take over"! On April 23, South Korean newspaper The Kookmin Ilbo published an article stating that Malaysia and India announced their intention to purchase Boeing aircraft returned by China. Outside observers are paying attention to whether purchasing Boeing aircraft will become a card in negotiations for reciprocal tariffs with the United States. According to Indian media The Times of India, Tata Group-owned Air India is seeking to acquire multiple Boeing aircraft originally produced for Chinese airlines. The report stated: "This airline needs more planes for renewal." Air India had previously received 41 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that were grounded by China for safety reasons. Analysts believe that due to global supply chain constraints making it difficult to procure aircraft, Air India breathed a sigh of relief as China refused to purchase Boeing aircraft. Chinese airlines had planned to purchase approximately 100 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which are exactly the models Air India wants. Reuters reported that Malaysia Airlines' parent company, Malaysia Aviation Group, is negotiating with Boeing for the purchase of new aircraft. If Boeing's delivery volume falls short, the Sino-American tariff issue may provide an opportunity for early aircraft delivery. Since the end of the pandemic, demand for new passenger aircraft has increased, but Boeing is delaying delivery plans due to supply chain bottlenecks, worker strikes, and government regulation and investigations. Malaysia Airlines, owned by Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund, plans to operate 55 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft by 2030. Last month, the company agreed to purchase 18 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft and 12 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft, and also signed a contract to lease 25 Boeing 737 MAX jets from Aeris. It was reported that the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft originally scheduled for delivery to Xiamen Airlines in China arrived at Boeing's factory in Renton, Washington, near Seattle on the 19th and 22nd respectively.
