If you’ve flown regularly in the last several years, you’ve likely traveled on one of the jets that crashed Monday in China.
Boeing began delivering the 737-800 to customers in 1997 and delivered the last of the series to China Eastern in 2020. It made over 5,200 of the narrow-body aircraft, a popular, single-aisle commuter plane.The 6-year-old single-aisle jet is part of the Next Generation era that preceded the 737 Max, which was subjected to a global grounding after.
Bloomberg Intelligence senior airlines analyst George Ferguson said he doesn’t expect the reaction to the 737-800 crash in China to look anything like the swift, global grounding of the 737 Max jets several years ago. Those planes, specifically, are still not cleared by regulatory authorities to fly in China three years after the incidents that grounded them.
