China has quietly ended its month-long ban on receiving new Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft, Bloomberg reported Tuesday—just hours after Washington and Beijing agreed to a 90-day tariff de-escalation. This reprieve follows earlier orders for Chinese carriers to halt Boeing deliveries and even return recently arrived jets.
Delivery Ban Lifted
Resumption Directive: Chinese aviation authorities have instructed carriers and government agencies that U.S.-built Boeing jets can once again be accepted.
Trade Context: The move coincides with a temporary cut in U.S. tariffs on China from 145% to 30% and China’s reciprocal cut from 125% to 10%.
Impact on Boeing & Competitors
Cleared Backlog: Boeing can now fulfill previously delayed orders, shoring up Q3 delivery expectations.
Alternative Markets: During the ban, Boeing explored shifting undelivered jets to customers in Southeast Asia and Europe.
