important market for our aviation industry, and we have supported the
development of China's civil aviation for 50 years. Although the demand for our
aircraft is still strong, relevant The timing of progress also depends on other
factors. We are working closely with our clients during these dynamic times.”

be affected.

doesn't see a slowdown in aircraft demand.
In October 2018 and March 2019, there were two
consecutive air accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft within six
months. It has been grounded worldwide for nearly two years, and was approved
by the United States in November 2020. The Civil Aviation Administration of
China issued an airworthiness directive on December 2 last year, and has not
yet approved a return to flight. Or as a result, Boeing has not delivered 737
MAX aircraft to Chinese customers since 2019.

said at a press conference on December 3 last year that the premise for the
commercial return of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 is to fully meet the three principles
determined by the Civil Aviation Administration. Obtaining airworthiness
approval is only the most basic work. In the follow-up, domestic airlines will
also complete aircraft modification, parking aircraft recovery, driver training
and other work. After the supplementary operation certification, it is expected

analyst call. Deliveries this year will be around 400, down from the 500 the
company forecast earlier this year.
