What's the matter with Boeing's claim of 11 Airlines? How much does Boeing claim from 11 Airlines? After China Eastern Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines filed claims against Boeing, Shandong Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Kunming Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Fuzhou airlines, Xiangpeng airlines and Aokai Airlines confirmed one after another on the 23rd, claiming compensation for the loss caused by the grounding of Boeing 737max and the delayed delivery of the 737max ordered earlier.
As of the press release by China News Agency, 11 of the 12 Chinese airlines involved in the grounding of Boeing 737max, except Jiuyuan airlines, have filed claims against Boeing.
The Boeing 737max aircraft of Indonesia lion airlines and Ethiopia Airlines crashed successively in 2018 and 2019. On March 11 this year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China announced that in order to ensure the flight safety of China's civil aviation, China Transport Airlines suspended the commercial operation of Boeing 737max aircraft.
According to statistics, there are 96 Boeing 737max grounded in China, accounting for about 4% of its aircraft. Among them, Air China 15, China Southern 24, China Eastern 14, Hainan 11, Xiamen 10, Shenzhen 5, Shanhang 7, Xiangpeng 3, Aokai 2, Fuzhou 2, Kunming 2 and Jiuyuan 1.
It is reported that of the seven Boeing 737max aircraft grounded by Shandong Airlines, five were delivered in 2018, and two were just delivered in February and March this year.
As the latest model of Boeing, a large part of the narrow body aircraft ordered by Air China is 737max. According to the original plan, Air China will introduce 22 737max this year.
Some industry analysts believe that the losses of the above-mentioned Airlines include the direct business losses caused by the suspension of the original routes and the costs caused by the use of other aircraft to make up for the gap in the routes. Each airline company may claim tens of millions of dollars or more.
In the off-season, the impact of 737max grounded on airlines and the market is not obvious, but after the arrival of the peak season in June, if the problem has not been solved, the increase of China's aviation capacity will be obviously restricted.
As for the time to resume the operation of Boeing 737max, CAAC has previously given the preconditions: finding out the airworthiness compliance of the aircraft design and ensuring the implementation of relevant safety measures, which are closely related to the accident investigation conclusions, and fully evaluating the aircraft design and improvement based on the official accident investigation conclusions.
