In fact, from a commercial point of view, if Boeing resells these 737MAX originally ordered by China without the permission of domestic airlines in China, it is a typical unilateral tearing up of the contract. However, if Boeing has reached a mutual understanding with many domestic airlines, the resale behavior is understandable.
Many people may associate this with the fact that the domestic C9 19 large aircraft will soon obtain the domestic airworthiness certificate and put it into commercial operation, and think that this is a good opportunity for C9 19 to share the 737MAX market share in China civil aviation. To be fair, this view has some truth, but it is also somewhat idealistic.
There is a big cake in China's domestic aviation market, in which narrow trunk passenger planes are the largest part. However, it will take a long time to deliver C9 19 to increase the production capacity. In the meantime, we still need to import foreign products of the same type appropriately to make up for the domestic market gap, such as importing a large number of Airbus A-320neo and other models. As for Boeing 737MAX, it can't be said that China has completely locked in the possibility of re-entering the China market. We just need to make it meet the corresponding safety standards. Of course, this period of time is still a great opportunity for C9 19, and it can win a bigger market for C9 19.
