China Southern Removes Boeing's 737 Max From Fleet Plans

China Southern plans to receive nearly 80 jets by 2024, excluding the Boeing 737 Max due to delivery uncertainties. This poses a challenge for Boeing, as China is its largest overseas market and China Southern its biggest customer there. Boeing faces a backlog of 737 Max aircraft, with China being one of the few regions not yet flying them commercially. The COVID-19 pandemic has further delayed expected deliveries, impacting Boeing's financial and strategic plans.
