Three Chinese airlines seek compensation from Boeing over grounded 737 MAX jets after two major plane crashes
In this file photo taken on March 13, 2019, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 for China Southern Airlines is pictured at the Boeing Renton Factory in Renton, Washington.
China Southern is Asia's largest carrier by fleet size, China Eastern is the country's number two, while Air China is the state flag carrier.A spokesman for China Eastern confirmed to AFP that a dispatch by state-run Xinhua news agency saying the airline had presented Boeing with a compensation claim was correct.Spokespersons for China Southern and Air China could not immediately be reached for comment.
That followed the October crash of a Lion Air 737 MAX, which went down shortly after take-off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. There was no immediate indication that the move was related to the increasingly bitter trade conflict. Trump launched the trade war last year to extract profound economic reforms from Beijing, accusing China of seeking to forge global industrial dominance through massive state intervention in markets and the theft of US technology.The conflict has widened recently with the United States taking unprecedented steps to bar US technology sales to Chinese telecom giant Huawei.
The firm's statement about the simulator marked the first acknowledgement of a shortcoming since the two accidents led to the worldwide grounding of the top-selling airliner.
