Boeing (NYSE:BA) on Saturday delivered the first 737 Max 8 to a Chinese airline in about five years, a sign that a key aviation market is reopening to the U.S. aviation giant.
China Southern Airlines on Wednesday flew the plane from Boeing Field/King County International Airport in Seattle. It stopped in Hawaii and the Northern Mariana Islands before arriving in Guangzhou in southern China, FlightRadar24 data showed.
China in 2019 was the first country to ground Max jets after two fatal accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The country’s aviation authorities last month gave Boeing (BA) permission to resume deliveries of the 737 Max 8 to domestic customers.
A different model of the plane, the 737 Max 9, this month was temporarily grounded in the United States after a midair crisis on an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon.
