A Boeing 737 Max<\/strong> jet is on its way to China to conduct a flight test for regulators, people familiar with the matter said, a step toward lifting the plane\u2019s more than two-year grounding in the country following two fatal crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 737-7 took off from Seattle\u2019s Boeing Field at around 8 a.m. local time, bound for John Rodgers Field outside Honolulu, according to FlightRadar24, Bloomberg<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoeing continues to work with global regulators as they complete their validation processes in order to better understand enhancements to the airplane,\u201d the company said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s shares recovered from a morning slump after Bloomberg News reported on the flight, rising as much as 1.4%. The stock was little changed at 11:39 a.m. in New York. Boeing had climbed 7% this year through Tuesday, about half the gain of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hawaii flight is the first leg of a trip across the Pacific, said the people, who asked not to be named because the matter is private. With the Max also barred from Russian airspace, the narrow-body plane will travel near the equator to China rather than take the shorter northern crossing that is typically flown by commercial aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Max\u2019s validation flight in China would be a milestone, the country\u2019s regulators still could take months to wrap up their work before allowing the plane to resume commercial service. Boeing sent a delegation of around 35 pilots and engineers to the nation last month to meet with regulators and prepare for simulator and flight testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Federal Aviation Administration technical officials have just completed a quarantine in China — required due to the Covid-19 pandemic — and are expected to participate in the test program, said another person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
