The US plane manufacturer Boeing has begun flying 737 Max jets that were refused by Chinese airline customers back to the United States, as the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies escalates.
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that China had instructed airlines to stop taking delivery of Boeing jets.

Hahaha LMAO stupid trump and maga morons
The fall of boeing is all in all a good thing for the US. These too big to fail companies are a severe liability.
thanks donald for helping european manufacturers sell more planes. airbus ftw.
I guess they will have to roll with their Comac C919 in order to please Party Officials.
Also Airbus doesn’t have the capacity to deliver new planes quickly right now
Will Boeing have to pay 245% tariffs on re-importing them?
They don’t have to pay anything, they’re not buying them.
No, assuming that they weren’t worked on any further and are being returned as-exported. Even if they weren’t originally US made, you’ve got three years from US export to claim duty relief (assuming you paid the duties when they came into the US first time round).

Boeing has 4,763 MAX aircraft in its backlog as of March 31, 2025.
Well, I assume that some other customer isn’t going to complain about their plane being available earlier than scheduled.
Airlines usually customize the engines, avionics, galley, toilets, cabin interior, seat configuration, in-flight entertainment, etc.
Just because they’re bringing the aircraft back, doesn’t mean they get to ship them out to other waiting customers ASAP.
It’s called option, not customization.
You can’t put a huge ass spoiler on your 737 to have it stick better to the ground, and it will go back down anyway.
Not if it coincides with a recession and drop in passenger numbers.
Well I assume the other airlines will inspect the Airplane rigorously when they know someone else already refused delivery for it, because they don’t want a shitty lemon
What would have they done with only the back of the plane anyway?
I see what you did there Dad
If you put them together you can fly both ways. Round trip.
If they’re going cheap I’ll take one
