Shares of Boeing \u2014 which considers China one of its biggest growth markets and where rival Airbus holds a dominant position \u2014 were down 0.5% in midday trading. The global aerospace industry is being dragged into a US-led trade war, with planemakers, airlines and suppliers reviewing contracts worth billions of dollars, after US supplier Howmet Aerospace ignited debate over who should bear the cost of the tariffs. Confusion over changing tariffs could leave aircraft deliveries in limbo, with some airline CEOs saying they would defer delivery of planes rather than pay duties. China&#8217;s top three airlines \u2014 Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines \u2014 had planned to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes respectively between 2025 and 2027. Beijing has also asked that Chinese carriers halt purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from US companies, the\u00a0<em>Bloomberg\u00a0<\/em>report said. <em>Reuters<\/em>\u00a0has not been able to independently confirm the report. Two aerospace industry sources told\u00a0<em>Reuters\u00a0<\/em>they had not been alerted independently to a blanket ban by China on US aircraft parts. Analysts said a short-term halt in deliveries to China would not have a major impact on Boeing, since the planemaker could redirect those jets to other airlines and because Airbus does not have capacity to supply the country alone. China would have more difficulty banning imports of new US parts to support its existing fleet of aircraft, including China\u2019s C919. \u201cIf China stops buying aircraft components from the US, the C919 program is halted or dead,\u201d wrote Bank of America analyst Ron Epstein in a note to clients. The Chinese government is considering ways to provide assistance to airlines that lease Boeing jets and are facing higher costs,\u00a0<em>Bloomberg News<\/em>\u00a0reported. It was China that first grounded Boeing&#8217;s 737 MAX jets after two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed nearly 350 people. China also suspended most orders and deliveries of the jet in 2019. Boeing declined to comment. The halt in deliveries to China marks yet another setback for the planemaker, which is navigating a slow recovery following a challenging year marked by a labour strike, enhanced regulatory scrutiny and persistent supply chain disruptions. Beijing&#8217;s action follows its decision last week to hike levies on US imports to 125% in retaliation against US tariffs, which would significantly raise the cost of Boeing jets bound for Chinese carriers and potentially lead airlines to consider alternatives such as Airbus and domestic player COMAC. Boeing&#8217;s shares have shed more than a third of their value since a mid-air door panel blowout on a brand-new MAX 9 jet last year, which triggered a fresh wave of challenges for the company. The escalating tit-for-tat tariffs between the world&#8217;s two biggest economies risk bringing goods trade between the two countries to a standstill. That trade was valued at over $650 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- China has ordered its airlines not to take further deliveries of Boeing jets in response to the US decision to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese goods,\u00a0Bloomberg News\u00a0reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
