China is progressing on its commitment to purchase 200 Boeing aircraft. This transaction stems from a deal initially announced in May 2026.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reports that approximately 140 of these jets are in a good state. Chinese carriers are currently formalizing orders for an additional 10 aircraft.
This agreement represents Boeing's first major deal with China in nearly a decade. The progress signals a potential reopening of a critical market for the U.S. manufacturer.
U.S. and Chinese leaders are scheduled to meet for an upcoming summit. However, officials have tempered expectations for any additional large-scale orders during these talks.
