Boeing 737 MAX jet resumes China journey amid uncertainty over model’s return
A Boeing Co 737 MAX meant for China Eastern Airlines subsidiary Shanghai Airlines is flying from Guam to Shanghai on Thursday, flight tracking websites showed, amid uncertainty over when the model will resume flying in China.
Flight BOE631 comes more than three weeks after the first 737 MAX bound for a Chinese customer since a 2019 grounding began its journey from Seattle to Boeing’s completion plant in Zhoushan.
The plane, painted in Shanghai Airlines livery, had been stuck on the ground in Guam since March 15 due to a minor technical issue. It is due to land at around 11:30 a.m. Shanghai local time (0330 GMT), tracking websites showed.
