United is facing more delays for its long-awaited Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft, the largest variant of the single-aisle jet.

China has lifted its ban on airlines receiving Boeing aircraft after a de-escalation of its trade war with the United States.

Boeing expects to further delay 737 and 787 aircraft deliveries to Alaska Airlines and its subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines.

Dubai-based carrier Emirates could see its first Boeing 777X deliveries delayed for another one to two years, per a recent report.

The long-awaited new aircraft type in Emirates’ fleet is finally on the way to Dubai. Its first Airbus A350-900 is scheduled to enter service in January 2024.
