Boeing plans to redirect up to 50 planes originally ordered by Chinese airlines to other customers due to steep 125% tariffs imposed by China in retaliation to U.S. tariffs. CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed hope for a resolution while noting that some Chinese customers are refusing deliveries, although inquiries from airlines outside China have begun. Despite the tariffs, Boeing’s overall demand remains strong, allowing continued production increases of its 737 Max, while the company actively engages with U.S. officials, including President Trump, to address the issue.
