Boeing Delivers First Dreamliner to China in Four Years

The delivery to Juneyao Airlines marks a potential thaw in Chinese orders for the US company, with implications for future 737 Max deliveries.

Boeing has delivered a 787 Dreamliner directly to China for the first time since 2019, marking a potential thaw in the freeze on Chinese orders for the US company.
The 787-9 was delivered to Juneyao Airlines, a privately owned Chinese carrier, and arrived in Shanghai.
China was a significant market for Boeing, accounting for about one-fifth of worldwide deliveries of Boeing 737 MAX models.
The delivery could potentially expedite further deliveries of Boeing’s top-seller, the 737 Max, which had its deliveries to China halted almost five years ago due to two fatal accidents.
Analysts suggest that recent improvements in political ties between Washington and Beijing could lift Boeing’s business with Chinese airlines.
