Hainan Airlines, second Chinese airline to resume 737 MAX flights
Hainan Airlines on Wednesday resumed operations with the Boeing 737 MAX, marking the second commercial service of the model by a Chinese airline since its grounding in March 2019.
The domestic flight took off from Haikou, capital of China’s southern Hainan province, at 09.23 local time bound for the southwestern city of Kunming, according to flight-tracking app VariFlight.

Last December, China Southern Airlines scheduled a flight from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou operating a MAX that made its first passenger flight in China in nearly four years.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun pointed to future increases in narrow-body aircraft production and expressed hope that an upcoming visit to China by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will eventually lead to “robust” orders for the aircraft, Reuters reported.
