Boeing Poised to Restart Jet Handovers to China Amid Trade Spat
Boeing Co. has begun shipping commercial jets to China for the first time since early April, indicating a reopening of trade flows amid the long-simmering tariff war between the US and Asia's biggest economy. A Boeing 737 Max registered N230BE took off for Hawaii on Friday morning, according to Flightradar24 flight data. It is the first stop in a journey across the Pacific to the US planemaker's center in Zhoushan, China where it typically finalizes delivery of that model for domestic customers.

Pentagon lost contact with Army helicopter on flight that caused jets to nix landings at DC airport
WASHINGTON — Military air traffic controllers lost contact with an Army helicopter for about 20 seconds as it neared the Pentagon on the flight that caused two commercial jets to abort their landings this month at a Washington airport, the Army told The Associated Press on Friday. The aborted landings on May 1 added to general unease about continued close calls between government helicopters and commercial airplanes near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport following a deadly midair collision in January between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter that killed 67 people.

US probing impacts of imported jets, aircrafts on national security
The Trump administration is currently probing the impact of imported commercial jets, engines and other aircraft parts on national security, according to a copy of the federal notice made public on Friday. The Commerce Department started the investigation on May 1, per the notice. The department is seeking public comments on the current and projected demand for commercial aircraft and jet engines, the role of foreign supply chains in meeting U.S. demand for commercial jets and the 'impact of foreign government subsidies and predatory trade practices on the competitiveness of the commercial aircraft and jet engine industry.' The probe marks the latest use of a Section 232 provision under the 1962 Trade Expansion Act. It also comes after President Trump imposed sweeping tariffs last month on steel and aluminum coming into the country. Delta Air Lines said last month that it is figuring out how to avoid the additional cost due to tariffs when receiving jets from Airbus this year. 'We will not pay tariffs on any aircraft deliveries we take,' Delta's top executive Ed Bastian said in early April. 'We will defer any deliveries that have a tariff on it.' The Commerce Department also opened up a probe into the impact of imported medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks on national security. GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp said that he met with the president in April and that he pushed for re-inserting a duty-free option for the aerospace industry, arguing under the 1979 Civil Aircraft Agreement, the sector was able to enjoy a massive surplus. 'I have argued that it was good and would be good for the country,' Culp said in an interview with Reuters in April, adding that the administration 'understood' the company's position. The investigation also comes as the administration works to negotiate trade deals with foreign trade partners after Trump imposed a 10 percent baseline tariff on nearly all foreign nations. The president has since paused the majority of reciprocal tariffs for 90 days. Trump on Thursday announced the U.S. had reached its first major trade deal with the United Kingdom since the 'Liberation Day' tariffs were rolled out. U.S. officials are also in Switzerland Saturday for talks with Chinese counterparts. China, the world's second largest economy and a major U.S. trading partner, last month ordered its airlines to ditch jet deliveries from Boeing — an American company — amid the trade war. The nation, notably excluded from the 3-month tariff pause, currently faces a 145 percent import tax, though the White House has suggested it could be significantly reduced.

U.S. Investigating Security Risk Of Commercial Jet & Engine Imports
Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-300 wide body passenger airplane spotted taking off from Polderbaan ... More runway departing from Amsterdam Schiphol AMS Airport to Minneapolis USA MSP airport as flight DL163. The A330 aircraft has the registration tail number N803NW, powered by 2x PW jet engines. Delta Air Lines is a major airline carrier in the United States of America with headquarters and hub in Atlanta, Georgia, member of SkyTeam aviation alliance group. Delta is the second largest airline in the world with a fleet of 982 planes and ranked as the best in the US. Amsterdam, the Netherlands on April 10, 2025 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto via Getty Images) The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has posted a draft notice of a national security investigation of imports of commercial jets, jet engines and parts for both, under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1969, by part 705 of the National Security Industrial Base Regulations. The notice will be published in the Federal Register on May 13, but the draft is already available. According to the draft notice, the Secretary of Commerce launched the Section 232 investigation on May 1, though it was not listed on the Bureau's page at the time of writing. The U.S. has listed six open Section 232 investigations into the imports of copper, timber and lumber, semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, trucks, and processed critical minerals and derivative products. After its official publication, the commercial jet, engines and parts notice will be open to public comment. The department will seek comments, data, analysis and information on the following: The investigation will broadly impact European suppliers, the main competitors of U.S. suppliers in this sector. Commercial aircraft, engines, and aviation parts increasingly rely on a limited international supply chain, primarily split between the U.S. and Europe. However, the U.S. still holds a significant market share advantage. Boeing and Airbus are the world's two dominant manufacturers of new commercial aircraft. Airbus holds a significant lead on total backlog with 8,652 aircraft compared to Boeing's 6,197 as of February. That said, Airbus' backlog advantage is mainly on narrowbody planes (7,696 compared to Boeing's 4,747), and some of Airbus' narrowbodies are built in the U.S. Boeing has a dominant share of the international widebody market with a backlog of 1,450 compared to Airbus' 956. Any retaliatory tariffs imposed on Boeing long-haul aircraft might impact international airlines' decisions for future orders. Jet engine manufacturing is controlled by four manufacturers: CFM International, Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, and General Electric. The French and American conglomerate CFM International (39%) and the U.S. Pratt & Whitney (35%) have the dominant share of the market, while British Rolls-Royce (12%) and U.S. General Electric (14%) hold the balance. The U.S., therefore, has a significant lead in jet engine manufacturing, accounting for nearly 88% of the market. Though some CFM engines are built in France, GE Aerospace, which holds a 50% share of CFM, announced a $1 billion investment in U.S. factories in March. It plans to hire 5,000 workers to support production and assembly of narrowbody CFM LEAP engines. Airlines and manufacturers have been contending with the impact of new tariffs on aircraft imposed by the Trump administration. Recently, Delta Air Lines took delivery of a new Airbus A350-900 plane via Japan as a work-around. According to data from aviation analytics firm ch-aviation, U.S. airlines Delta and United currently have 79 widebody aircraft on order with Airbus. Airbus' CEO Guillaume Faury has said the company will not cover the costs of tariffs for its U.S. airline customers. Airbus has also backed a plan for Europe to impose a $125 billion retaliatory tariff package, which could impact Boeing aircraft and U.S.-manufactured jet engines imported from the United States. While Airbus maintains manufacturing facilities in the U.S. for its narrowbody Airbus A220 and some A320 family aircraft, these may also be vulnerable to U.S. tariffs imposed on the parts it imports to the U.S. for production. Following a trade deal between the U.K. and the U.S., British Airways owner International Airlines Group disclosed in its Q1 financial report on Friday that it will buy up to 71 long-haul planes from Airbus and Boeing. IAG placed a new order for 32 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner planes and 21 Airbus A330-900neo planes for delivery between 2028 and 2033. The company also revealed that it had exercised options in March for six additional Airbus A350-900s, six A350-1000s and six Boeing 777-9s.
