Boeing Resumes Aircraft Deliveries to China
According to flight data from FlightRadar24 cited by Bloomberg, a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with registration number N230BE and marked with Xiamen Airlines' logo took off from Seattle at 10:00 AM on June 6th and headed to China's delivery center. This marks Boeing's first aircraft delivery to China since April.
It is reported that this aircraft was originally a new plane waiting for delivery at Boeing's Zhoushan factory but was returned to the U.S. in April due to the impact of the Sino-U.S. tariff war.
In April, Boeing reportedly flew back three Boeing 737 MAX aircraft intended for delivery to Chinese airlines, stating that China had stopped accepting Boeing passenger planes. On April 29th, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce responded, saying that the U.S., by wielding the tariff cudgel, seriously disrupted the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain, as well as the international air transport market, preventing many companies from conducting normal trade and investment activities.
This year, after the U.S. raised tariffs on Chinese-bound products three times, the final rate reached 145%. In response, China implemented countermeasures, imposing tariffs on all U.S. products, with rates reaching up to 125%. From May 10th to 11th, senior economic officials from China and the U.S. held talks in Geneva and reached a consensus on reducing tariffs.
On May 29th, Boeing CEO Olteberg revealed that Chinese airlines would resume receiving Boeing aircraft in June.
