The US plane manufacturer Boeing has begun flying 737 Max jets that were refused by Chinese airline customers back to the United States, as the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies escalates.

    Damn, that’s not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.

    It’s like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.

    I’m kind of surprised they are flying them back. Should have been like “it’s sitting on the tarmac, keys in it. Come and get it, we aren’t paying.”

      If they are refusing to pay for them, leaving them there would be gifting them to those airlines. Boeing is owed money, not the other way around.

    If they are flying them back, they should pay the 145% tariff. After all it is China paying it, right?
