Boeing's CEO said on April 23, 2025, that China has "stopped taking delivery" of its aircraft due to the US-China trade war, adding that the aviation giant will soon market the jets to other carriers. In an interview with CNBC, Boeing Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg confirmed reports that China had returned planes, saying that the aviation giant would be "pretty pragmatic" in finding alternative takers for the aircraft.
