China lifts ban on Boeing deliveries

China has removed a ban on airlines taking delivery of Boeing planes after the United States and China agreed on a temporary cut in steep tariffs, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Officials in Beijing have started to tell domestic carriers and government agencies this week that deliveries of aircraft made in the US can resume, Bloomberg said. Last month at least three jets at Boeing's delivery centre in China were repatriated by Boeing to the United States. Bloomberg News a month ago reported that Boeing faced a Chinese ban on imports as part of a trade war between the world's two biggest economies. Beijing has not commented on why Boeing deliveries stopped and senior industry sources told Reuters they were not aware of formal instructions against taking Boeing planes.
