A worker walks past a Boeing 737 Max passenger jet at the company’s manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, near Seattle, on April 15.

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.

Bloomberg reported earlier this week that China had instructed airlines to stop taking delivery of Boeing jets.

At least two other Boeing planes in Zhoushan are awaiting delivery to Chinese customers, according to data from the tracker Aviation Flights Group.

US President Donald Trump earlier this week accused China of reneging on a “big Boeing deal”, as reports emerged about Beijing’s decision.

Beijing has also requested Chinese carriers to pause purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from US suppliers.

Boeing’s website shows its order book at the end of March contained 130 aircraft due to Chinese customers, including airlines and leasing companies. »
