Four years later, Boeing will re-deliver 737 Max jets to China

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Tianhe Alliance for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Aug. 27 (Xinhua)-- Boeing is preparing to resume delivery of 737 Max jets to China, according to Bloomberg. The initial transfer is expected to take place within weeks, according to people familiar with the matter.

It is understood that Boeing moved two single-aisle jets originally built for Chinese airlines out of inventory this month, and it is not clear whether they will be delivered to the original buyer, as Boeing has transferred some aircraft from inventory to alternative customers.

China Southern Airlines is preparing to receive the first 737 Max from Boeing, according to a person familiar with the matter.

On March 13, 2019, dozens of countries and regions, including China, Indonesia and the European Union, grounded flights of 737 Max after the Ethiopian air crash (crashed 6 minutes after take-off, leaving 157 passengers and crew dead).

CTOnews.com noted that Boeing took the lead in resuming 737 MAX commercial flights earlier this year after China lifted flight restrictions on the 737 Max.
