Ortberg said some 737 maximum planes in China who were to be delivered to carriers, there have been planes for the United States
He said that jets that were intended for Chinese customers, as well as planes that the company planned to build for China later this year, could go to other customers.
“There are a lot of customers looking for the maximum plane,” said Ortberg. “We are not going to wait too long. I will not let it derail the resumption of our company.”
