China has lifted its month-long ban on receiving new Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. This decision comes closely after the U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day tariff reduction, marking a significant relief for the aviation industry. The restrictions had forced Chinese airlines to halt deliveries and return recently acquired jets.

Details of the Delivery Ban Lift

• Directive to Resume Deliveries: Chinese aviation authorities instructed both carriers and government entities that they may accept U.S.-constructed Boeing jets once again.

• Context of the Trade Agreement: This move coincided with a temporary reduction in U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% alongside China’s reciprocal cuts from 125% to 10%.

Effects on Boeing and Competitors

• Addressing Backlog: Boeing can now fulfill previously delayed aircraft orders, bolstering expectations for Q3 deliveries.

• Exploring Alternative Markets: Throughout the ban, Boeing looked into redirecting undelivered jets to clients in Southeast Asia and Europe.
