Boeing’s airplane deliveries to China will resume next month after handovers were paused amid a trade war with the Trump administration, CEO Kelly Ortberg said Thursday, as he brushed off the impact of tit-for-tat tariffs with some of the United States’ largest trading partners this year.

Boeing has resumed deliveries of its 737 MAX aircraft to China, marking a significant shift following a months-long suspension.

A new Boeing 737 MAX painted with Xiamen Airlines livery left Seattle on Friday on the first leg of the route used to shuttle jets to the company's delivery center in China, according to flight records on FlightRadar24.
