On July 13, 2025, the US aircraft manufacturer Boeing delivered three passenger planes to three Chinese airlines on the same day, which was rarely seen as a signal of warming Sino-US trade relations.

According to the flight tracking platform Flightradar24, the three 737-8 Max passenger planes took off one after another within an hour from 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, Seattle time, and flew to Honolulu, Hawaii for a regular transfer, and then continued to China. All three aircraft have been registered as Chinese nationals and were received by Xiamen Airlines, Shanghai Airlines and Shandong Airlines respectively.
