U.S. aeronautics company Boeing said on Tuesday that it delivered 60 airplanes in June, a 27% increase compared to a year earlier, including eight to Chinese customers for the first time since a trade spat between the U.

Boeing Co. said it delivered 60 aircraft in June, its best showing in 18 months that reflects improvements in its factories and the resumption of US jet exports to China.

Boeing continued on its path to recovery in June, recording its highest number of 737 MAX deliveries since the end of 2023 and its best delivery rate for the first half of the year since 2018.
