Boeing Delivers 1st New Freighter To China Since Trade War Began

Boeing recently delivered a new Boeing 777 freighter to China’s Suparna Airlines, the first new-build freighter that was handed to a Chinese airline since the US-China tariff war began. Nearly 60 Boeing 777 family freighters are currently in service with six Chinese airlines, demonstrating the continued importance of the manufacturer’s relationship with the carrier. Beijing blocked Boeing deliveries in retaliation for US tariffs earlier this year, with restrictions easing following a temporary truce.
