Overview

  • On June 9, a Xiamen Airlines 737 MAX landed in Zhoushan, marking Boeing’s first delivery to China since April.
  • The resumption follows a 90-day tariff truce that cut U.S. levies on Chinese imports to 30 percent and lowered Chinese duties on U.S. goods to 10 percent.
  • Boeing halted shipments and repatriated at least three 737 MAX jets in April amid rising U.S.-China trade tensions.
  • China’s aviation market represents about 10 percent of Boeing’s order book, with roughly 50 jets planned for Chinese carriers this year.
  • U.S. and Chinese trade representatives met in London on June 9 to discuss extending the tariff reductions and stabilizing aircraft supply chains.
