Another Boeing 737 MAX was ferried to the US after China refused delivery

Published: April 23, 2025
A Boeing 737 MAX 8 was recently returned to Seattle after China declined to accept the aircraft from Boeing's delivery center in Zhoushan. After flying from China to Guam for refueling, the aircraft continued to Honolulu before making its way to Seattle's Boeing Field. This specific aircraft, registered as N242BE, was initially destined for Xiamen Airlines, but it will be stored in Seattle until it can be sold to a different airline, which will require a change in livery.

The refusal of the delivery reflects the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China, which have significant implications for the aviation industry. These trade disputes not only impact the immediate transaction of aircraft but also affect the global supply chains and production plans of manufacturers like Boeing. As the situation evolves, companies in the transportation sector must remain agile and reconsider their strategies to navigate these international challenges effectively.
