Boeing has delivered a 787-9 Dreamliner to Juneyao Airlines in China, marking the first direct delivery of a passenger airplane to the country since November 2019. This comes as air travel in the Asian-Pacific region is slowly returning to normal, with traffic up about 90% year over year in October. The restart of deliveries is a positive sign for Boeing’s recovery after the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the grounding of the 737 MAX. China is expected to require around 8,560 new commercial airplanes by 2042, representing about 20% of the global demand. Investors have responded positively, with Boeing stock up about 34% year to date.
