China Considers Landmark 500-Aircraft Order for Boeing 737 MAX

China is reportedly considering a monumental order for up to 500 Boeing B737 MAX aircraft ahead of a state visit by then-US President Donald Trump. The potential deal carries an estimated list-price value of USD50 billion. If finalized, the aircraft would likely be procured through the state-run China Aviation Supplies Holding Company (CAS). This entity would then allocate the new jets to various Chinese carriers. The discussions highlight a pattern of major aviation deals being linked to high-level diplomatic engagements between the United States and China.
