Boeing Delays Delivery of Aircraft to China for Battery Reviews

China signed off on the first direct delivery of the 787 jet in December and resumed import of 737 MAX in January

The delivery of Boeing aircraft to China has been suspended while China’s civil aviation regulator carries out a review of batteries powering the cockpit voice recorder, sources familiar with the matter told Caixin.

Boeing said in a statement that it is working with Chinese clients on the timing of delivery once the Civil Aviation Administration of China completes its review of the battery component within the 25-hour cockpit voice recorder (CVR). It did not say which models the review affects or what stage the review is at.
