A second Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet originally designated for a Chinese airline has commenced its return journey to the US, flight tracking data revealed.<\/p>\n

This development appears to be a consequence of the escalating bilateral tariffs initiated by President Donald Trump<\/a> and his global trade strategy. <\/p>\n

The aircraft landed in Guam on Monday after departing from Boeing\u2019s completion centre in Zhoushan, near Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Flight tracking website AirNav Radar provided the data showing the plane\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

Guam serves as a waypoint on the approximately 5,000-mile (8,000km) route that connects Boeing\u2019s production facility in Seattle with the Zhoushan centre, where the aircraft undergo final preparations before delivery to Chinese carriers.<\/p>\n

On the preceding Sunday, another 737 MAX, adorned with the livery of Xiamen Airlines, completed a similar return trip, landing at Seattle\u2019s Boeing Field.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Xiamen Airlines confirmed that two aircraft intended for the airline had been sent back to the US, although they did not disclose the reasons behind this decision. <\/p>\n

However, Beijing has not refuted reports that it ordered Chinese airlines to halt all deliveries from Boeing<\/a> and other US aerospace OEMs. <\/p>\n

In light of the current situation, Boeing may potentially find a replacement buyer in Malaysia Airlines, which has expressed interest in acquiring jets that could become available if Chinese airlines cease taking deliveries.<\/p>\n

This month, President Trump increased baseline tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, prompting China to retaliate with a 125% tariff on US goods.<\/p>\n

The tariff dispute and the recent reversal regarding deliveries occur as Boeing is gradually recovering from an almost five-year import ban on 737 MAX jets, alongside a prior episode of trade tensions.<\/p>\n

Recently Juneyao Airlines announced a delay<\/a> in the delivery of a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, worth around $120m, due to rising US tariffs on Chinese goods, according to Bloomberg sources.<\/p>\n
