The Boeing 787 Dreamliner sits on the tarmac at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington.
Boeing on Thursday handed over a 787 Dreamliner directly to a Chinese airline for the first time since November 2019, a milestone that could open up the possibility of deliveries of the manufacturer's cash cow, the 737 Max.
The Boeing 787-9 for privately owned Juneyao Airlines departed from outside of Boeing's Everett, Washington, factory for Shanghai, Boeing said Thursday.
The last new delivery of a new Boeing 787 to a Chinese airline was in 2021 through a leasing company.
Boeing sent the aircraft as China's pause on scores of pending deliveries of the Boeing 737 Max, the company's bestselling jet, nears its fifth year.
