Aviation Week Network’s fleet forecast projects that Boeing will deliver 44 aircraft to Chinese customers in 2025, the majority of which are expected to be 737-8s and 737-9s. Chinese airlines have a total of 295 737 MAX-family aircraft on order, including 39 737-8s and 10 737-10s for Xiamen Airlines.

MAX jet, originally designated for delivery to a Chinese airline, was en route back to the United States on Monday, Reuters reported, citing flight tracking data. The plane's return may be another sign of rising trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.

A Boeing jet set to be delivered to Xiamen Airlines in China was returned to the U.S. amid a growing trade war between the two nations.
