Boeing Delivers 787-9 Dreamliner to Juneyao Airlines as U.S. Lifts Jet Engine Export Restrictions to China, Allowing GE Shipments to COMAC

Boeing has delivered its first aircraft to a Chinese airline since the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration in early April 2025, signaling a potential easing of trade tensions between the United States and China. The delivery involved a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Juneyao Airlines, marking the resumption of Boeing's aircraft shipments to China after a prolonged hiatus. Concurrently, the U.S. government has lifted its export restrictions on American-made jet engine parts and technology to China, allowing companies such as GE Aerospace to restart shipments to China's COMAC. These developments indicate a thaw in the trade relationship between the two countries, with both sides taking steps to ease previous restrictions on aerospace trade.
