Boeing resumes China deliveries with 787-9 jet to Juneyao Airlines --- Yicai

Boeing delivered a new 787-9 aircraft to China's Juneyao Airlines on Saturday, Chinese media outlet Yicai reported, as trade tensions between Beijing and Washington ease.

Boeing Co. delivered a new 787-9 aircraft to China's Juneyao Airlines on Saturday, as reported by Chinese media outlet Yicai, marking a significant step in the easing of trade tensions between Beijing and Washington [1][2][3][4]. The delivery comes two days after a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed in a fireball shortly after takeoff in western India, an incident that has not been directly linked to the resumption of deliveries.

The U.S. aerospace giant had suspended new aircraft deliveries to China in April due to escalating tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump [1][2][3][4]. However, Boeing announced at the end of May that deliveries would resume this month after the tariffs were temporarily scaled back for 90 days [1][2][3][4]. The resumption of deliveries is seen as a positive sign of improving commercial relations and growing stability in the aerospace sector.

China and the U.S. concluded two days of negotiations in London on Tuesday to resolve key trade issues, where negotiators from both sides agreed on a framework covering tariff rates [1][2][3][4]. The resumption of Boeing deliveries is part of a broader effort to de-escalate trade tensions and restore trust in a critical global aviation partnership.

The delivery of the 787-9 to Juneyao Airlines is significant because China represents about 10% of Boeing's commercial backlog and is an important and growing aviation market [1][2][3][4]. Boeing had previously stated that customers in China would not take delivery of new planes due to the tariffs and that it was looking to resell potentially dozens of aircraft [1][2][3][4].

The resumption of deliveries is a boost for Boeing's carbon-fiber jet, which had been affected by the trade tensions. The company had repatriated at least three 737 MAX aircraft to the United States from Zhoushan during the suspension period, although none had been reassigned to other buyers [3][6].

The delivery of the 787-9 to Juneyao Airlines is a step toward restoring Boeing's market position in China and rebuilding its commercial aircraft backlog. The resumption of deliveries may serve as an encouraging sign of de-escalation in trade tensions and a step toward restoring trust in a critical global aviation partnership.
