A 737 Max aircraft took off for Hawaii in the morning, marking the first leg of its journey to Boeing's ( BA ) Zhoushan facility in China, where the company typically completes deliveries for domestic customers.

The pending resumption of deliveries comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the US and China, particularly around rare-earth minerals and semiconductors, according to the news outlet.

Boeing ( BA ) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
