Seoul: As the third Boeing aircraft began to return to the United States, a US aircraft manufacturer on Thursday acknowledged that its Chinese consumers were rejecting the supply of newly developed due to revenue.

During the first -quarter -of -the -art call for the first quarter on Wednesday, CEO Kelly Ottberg said: “Many of our consumers in China have indicated that they will not be delivered due to revenue.”

Ortburg said that China was the only country where Boeing is facing this problem and the planner will redirect the new supply of jet to other consumers who want to supply the pre -supply due to a global lack of global trade aircraft.

Prior to President Donald Trump’s global trade aggression, trade jets were traded worldwide under the 1979 civil aviation agreement.

Taking time to supply the Boeing jet to a Chinese airline can now face difficulties due to Beijing’s revenge rates on import of US goods. A aviation consultation, according to the IBA, a new 737 Max market value is about $ 55 million.

Two 737 Max 8s, who left for China to supply Zyrome Airlines in March, returned to the Boeing Production Hub in Seattle last week.

On Thursday, the Boeing completion center near Shanghai for the US territory of Guam was left by the third 737 Max 8, the flight tracker Erno Radar and Flug Trader 24 were disclosed.

According to the aviation flight group tracking database, the aircraft was initially built for the National Carrier Air China. Air China did not immediately respond to a comment request.

It departed from Seattle on April 5, during which time the prices were announced about China and Beijing about China and Beijing, and Beijing began implementing its own ramp up tariff on US goods.

Guam is one of the flights like Seattle and Zushan on a pace of 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of the Pacific, where planes are dispatched to provide final work and Chinese carrier by Boeing.

The Chinese government has not commented on why the planes are being returned.

Backlog

CFO Brian West said China represents about 10 % of the back blog of Boeing’s commercial aircraft.

West said Boeing had planned to provide about 50 new aircraft to China over the rest of the year, and was already evaluating marketing options to the aircraft already built or in process.

“Nine aircraft are not yet in the production system, we are busy understanding their intentions to take delivery with our customers, and if necessary, we have the ability to assign these positions to other customers,” said Ortberg.

“We will not continue to build aircraft for those users who will not take them,” said Ortberg.

Aviation Flight Group data tracking shows that 36 constructed aircraft for Chinese consumers are now in the United States at various stages of production and testing, including three returning aircraft.

Boeing data shows 130 130 invaluable orders for Chinese -based airlines and Listers, including 96 of its highest -selling 737 Max model. Industry sources say that an important part of more than 760 individuality orders for which Boeing has not yet named the buyer is for China.

The tariff war came when almost five years of imports on 737 Max jet in Boeing China have been recovering from the past.

West said the matter is a short -term challenge, and that China either starts to take aircraft, or prepares the Boeing jet for re -marketing.

“Consumers are calling, calling for additional planes,” he said.

Washington this week indicated openness to end the trade war, saying that high prices between the United States and China are not sustainable.

However, analysts say that changing the revenue can keep a lot of aircraft supply in the lamb, in which some airline CEO suggests that they will delay the supply of aircraft instead of paying duties.
