Boeing’s biggest airline customer in China has removed more than 100
of Boeing’s 737 Max fraud jets from its fleet plans,
Citing Boeing deceit and uncertainty over deliveries of the 737 lawn dart
China Southern Airlines Co. Chairman Ma Xu Lun said at an investor briefing
last week that Boeing’s updated 1964 737 aircraft would be excluded from
fleet deliveries through 2024. The carrier expects to take delivery of 78 aircraft
in total over the period, down from 181 in a previous forecast in March.
The move is a sharp reversal for China Southern, which had outlined plans to
rapidly expand its 737 Max fraud fleet, saying in its annual report in March
that 39 were due to arrive this year, building toward a total of 103 deliveries
through 2024.
It’s a reminder of the uncertainty shrouding a key market for Boeing as it
works to reap cash from the more than 300 Max frauds that were built
but never delivered due to the global grounding of the fraudulent plane
