China Considers Resuming Boeing 737 Max Purchases

Potential Agreement to be Discussed at Upcoming APEC Summit

China is considering resuming purchases of Boeing's 737 Max aircraft during the upcoming APEC summit where the U.S. and Chinese presidents will meet.
The terms of any potential agreement are still under discussion and could change or fall apart before the heads of state meet on Wednesday.
Boeing has been all but shut out of new orders from Chinese carriers since 2017 amid rising political and trade tensions between Beijing and Washington.
Boeing is still waiting to resume deliveries of its bestselling 737 MAX to Chinese airlines more than four years after they were halted following two deadly crashes.
Boeing in September slightly increased its annual 20-year forecast for new plane deliveries to China, citing economic growth and increasing demand for domestic travel.
