BEIJING/HONG KONG, June 14 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA )

delivered a new 787-9 aircraft to China's Juneyao Airlines

on Saturday, Chinese media outlet Yicai reported, as

trade tensions between Beijing and Washington ease.

The delivery comes two days after a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner

with 242 people on board crashed in a fireball shortly after

takeoff in western India.

Boeing ( BA ) and Juneyao Airlines did not immediately reply to

Reuters requests for comment on the Yicai report.

The U.S. aerospace giant had suspended new aircraft

deliveries to China in April as President Donald Trump's tariff

war escalated between the world's two largest economies.

Boeing ( BA ) said at the end of May that deliveries would resume

this month after the tariffs were temporarily scaled back for 90

days.

China and the U.S. concluded two days of negotiations in

London on Tuesday to resolve key trade issues in the two

superpowers' bruising tariff war, where negotiators from

Washington and Beijing agreed on a framework covering tariff

rates.

On Monday, a new Boeing 737 MAX painted in the livery of

Xiamen Airlines landed in China, adding to signs that the

planemaker was resuming deliveries to China. The country

represents about 10% of Boeing's ( BA ) commercial backlog and is an

important and growing aviation market.

Boeing ( BA ) had previously said customers in China would not take

delivery of new planes due to the tariffs and that it was

looking to resell potentially dozens of aircraft.
