It also lists all the systems that must be functioning in order for the plane to be dispatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A return to the skies in China, the world\u2019s biggest aircraft market, would be a major boon to Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAAC\u2019s notice said after a comprehensive review of the changes Boeing proposed, including to the design of the aviation control software and display system, it assessed the changes could remove the unsafe situations that led to the crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/11\/boeing-advanced-talks-sell-777x-freighters.html\">Boeing says in advanced talks to sell 777X freighters.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aerospace giant has said the 737 MAX performed a successful test flight for CAAC in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing Chief Executive David Calhoun said last month the company was working toward gaining Chinese approvals by the end of the year for the 737 MAX to fly, with deliveries expected to resume in the first quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around a third of about 370 undelivered 737 MAX airplanes in storage are for Chinese customers, Boeing said last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the 737 MAX was grounded, Boeing was selling one-quarter of the planes it built annually to Chinese buyers, its largest customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond safety concerns, Boeing\u2019s sales in China have been hobbled by U.S.-China trade tensions, with Washington accusing Beijing of blocking purchases of Boeing planes by its domestic airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
