Boeing is actively returning to the Chinese market, but the flight safety crisis of the 737 Max 9 model has hit Boeing's signature again, and it has been rumored that there may be a delay in delivery. However, according to foreign media reports, Boeing has resumed the delivery of 737 MAX in the Chinese market, and a large backlog of orders has been digested one after another.
Reuters reported that Flightradar24**, which immediately focuses on global flights, shows that the Boeing 737 MAX 8 passenger plane ordered by China's three major airlines, China Southern Airlines, departed from Seattle on January 24, and made a short stop in Hawaii and the Northern Mariana Islands on the way, and arrived in Guangzhou on the 27th to complete the delivery.
This is Boeing's first delivery of a 737 MAX to a Chinese airline since March 2019. In October 2018 and March 2019, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) took the lead in banning the 737 MAX in March 2019 and suspending deliveries of the 737 MAX until January 2023.
According to aviation analyst firm Cirium, Boeing still has a lot of 737 MAX orders from China that have not yet been shipped, with a backlog of at least 209 aircraft.
Boeing said in October that it had 250 finished 737 MAX aircraft in stock, 85 of which were reserved for Chinese customers, but Boeing later resold 55 of them to other customers because China** had not lifted the ban for a long time.
In recent years, China's civil aviation market has developed rapidly, and Boeing estimates that by 2042, China's demand for new aircraft will account for 20% of the world's new aircraft demand.
