A Juneyao Air 787-9 Dreamliner has departed for Shanghai, reopening a pipeline of 50 aircraft designated for China this year
Boeing delivered its first aircraft to a Chinese airline customer since US President Donald Trump unleashed a wave of tariffs in early April, a sign of rapprochement as Washington and Beijing look to ease tensions.
A Juneyao Air 787-9 Dreamliner took off from Paine Field north of Seattle on Friday, headed for Shanghai Pudong International Airport, according to Flightradar24 data.
The airline had scuttled earlier plans to take the widebody aircraft after China ratcheted up duties in retaliation for the US levies.
Representatives of Juneyao and Boeing declined to comment.
