Given that the trade war between the US and China is still intensifying, the Bloomberg report indicated that the Chinese government has asked its airlines to not accept any new deliveries from Boeing. Perhaps this step would hurt the American Planemaker who passed from one crisis to another. Previously, messages have come before the buzzing has moved to who benefits from this step if it takes a long time.
Immediate eyes are definitely in India, with hungry carriers to add more capacity in what has long been restricted to the supplier chain. Air India Express, Spicejet and Akasa Air have orders with boeing. Air India Express and Akasa Air actively receive aircraft while Spicejet waits for the condition and fate of its order.
Akasa Air and Air India Express were the recipients of white tails aircraft, an industrial language for aircraft that was manufactured and was not accepted by airlines that had given them orders. Most aircraft aircraft Akasa were white tails, while all Air India Express Max supplies are aircraft designed for other carriers, especially Chinese. Passengers may notice different types and seat covers along with a double class layout.

Boeing data shows that Chinese carriers have placed orders for 253 Max aircraft between 2013 and 2017, since then no orders. Since 2013, carriers have given orders for 82 dreams. China recorded deliveries of 155 maximum aircraft and 105 dreams. Some aircraft came from leasing companies or was rented to other carriers later landlords from China. For Boeing in China there are 96 unfulfilled orders on Max Aircraft and 11 for Dreamliners. These two types are required in India.
What does this mean for boeing?
Boeing passed from one crisis to another, starting with two deadly Max crashes that led to the global grounding of the aircraft. This was followed by a pandemic when the Boeing team repeatedly determined the deadline for returning Max to the air. Changes in management and reviewing FAA later, the company faced strike from engineers, delay production and supply. When things seem to be on the way, the trade war opens another challenge for the company and the events of one country determine the precedent for the issue of tariffs or supplies. Very few countries could be able to delay supplies, as airline companies around the world have tried to capacity and most countries have negotiated their airlines and organize themselves, unlike China, where the government is involved in aircraft orders.
What does it mean for Indian carriers?
It is too early to see if the Chinese announcement will take place in real events or is just a tool for re -negotiations. However, any availability of additional aircraft will be good news for Indian carriers, especially Akasa Air and Air India Express, which have funds to get more aircraft and grow on the market that was hunger for capacity.
However, this means that the white tails would come up with a session configuration, which is not what the airlines want, as if Livej. Akasa Air received deliveries after the liver change in the Boeing field, while Air India Express has recorded changes in India and the airlines took over the planes in the original colors of the Chinese carriers.
Tail note
There is one difference between the initial amount of white tails that Akasa Air bought or ordered and now ordered and now. While Akasa Air entered the aircraft and decided to take white tails in the middle of the pandemic when the company was down, Air India Express decided to take white tails when the inventory was high. Today we are not in the middle of a pandemic, nor does there be a very big inventory, and airlines will have to fight to get their hands on an aircraft that can suddenly become available. Although in the past it was Advantage Airlines, Boeing today stands in a commanding position with the ability to earn more on aircraft that could be available with a shorter delivery time or immediately.
