On May 21, the day before, the reporter confirmed that China Eastern Airlines had formally filed a claim to Boeing for the 737 Max grounded incident. The scope of the claim includes the loss caused by the company's 14 Boeing 737max aircraft grounded for a long time since March 11, and the delay in delivery of the 737max aircraft ordered by the company earlier. The two companies will maintain communication on this issue.
China Eastern Airlines has also become the first airline in China to formally file a claim against Boeing.
In response to the above news, Boeing still said to reporters, "we do not discuss any communication with any customers. '
Boeing crash
On March 10, a Boeing 737 Max 8 plane of Ethiopian Airlines crashed, killing all 157 people on board. This is the second air crash of Boeing 737 Max 8 following the 189 people killed in Indonesia's Lion air crash on October 29 last year.
Due to two consecutive crashes of the same type of aircraft, 737 Max was grounded all over the world. Meanwhile, Boeing reduced the capacity of 737 Max aircraft from 52 to 42 per month in April. At present, Boeing is making preparations for the 737 Max to resume flight, and the focus is to update the MCAs system triggered by error factors in both accidents.
737 Max is the latest single channel aircraft family of Boeing, including 737 Max 7, 737 Max 8, 737 Max 9 and 737 Max 10. In November 2017, Boeing delivered the first 737 Max to Air China. As of December last year, the number of all 737 aircraft operated by CAAC exceeded 1500, accounting for more than 50% of the same type of aircraft.
According to the data of civil aviation resources network, up to now, there are 96 737 Max 8 aircraft operated by domestic airlines, including 24 for China Southern Airlines, 15 for Air China, 11 for Hainan Airlines, 11 for Shanghai Airlines, 10 for Xiamen Airlines, 7 for Shan airlines, 5 for Shenzhen Airlines, 3 for China Eastern Airlines and Xiangpeng, 2 for Aokai, 2 for Fuzhou and Kunming, and 1 for nine yuan.
