Amid tariff war, a Boeing 737 jet to be delivered to a Chinese carrier, was instead flew to Seattle.
A Boeing 737 jet, originally bound for a Chinese carrier, departed Boeing’s Zhoushan completion center.
Boeing jet earmarked for China returned to the United States on Friday, flight tracking data showed, as the planemaker’s flagship delivery plant outside Shanghai was drawn into a deepening tariff war between Beijing and Washington.
However, instead of being delivered, it turned back, flying 5,000 miles across the Pacific to Seattle via Guam.
The 5,000-mile trip back to Boeing’s main factory comes as the planemaker’s business in China is under scrutiny over the tariff dispute says Reuters.
