Boeing is looking to resell potentially dozens of planes locked out of China by tariffs after repatriating a third jet to the United States in a delivery standoff that drew new criticism of Beijing from U.

In the midst of trade upheaval, Boeing's customers in China have "indicated that they will not take delivery" on up to 50 planes that were earmarked for the Chinese market this year, according to the US aerospace giant's CEO.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said Wednesday that he doesn’t expect the U.S. trade war with China to deter the company from its financial recovery and aircraft delivery targets even though Chinese airlines are refusing to accept the company’s planes.
