SEOUL: As Beijing and Washington lessen their trade war, the US aircraft manufacturer was restarting deliveries to Chinese clients when a new Boeing MAX landed back in China on Monday, according to flight monitoring data.
As the two biggest economies in the world increased their tariffs on one another, Boeing stopped delivering new aircraft to China in April. However, the company said at the end of May that deliveries will restart in June if the duties were temporarily reduced for ninety days.
After departing Seattle on Saturday and stopping to refuel in Hawaii and Guam while traveling across the Pacific, the aircraft, painted in the colors of Xiamen Airlines, touched down at Boeing’s Zhoushan completion center close to Shanghai, China’s commercial center.
