Does this mean we can take deliveries again?
I get several 'News Summary' emails each morning and the one story that piqued my interest is the EU trade deal. Several news agencies (mostly quoting Reuters and AP) state that there are no tariffs on airplanes or airplane parts.
From the Reuters article
Unfortunately there are no quotation marks on the first comment so it could be paraphrased or assumed. My question is, does this mean we can stop playing the "not-yet-delivered" game to avoid paying the tariffs?
From the Reuters article
Von der Leyen said there would be no tariffs from either side on aircraft and aircraft parts, certain chemicals, certain generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials.
"We will keep working to add more products to this list," von der Leyen said, adding that spirits were still under discussion.

Did we ever stop taking deliveries or were they just "accepted" in other countries before touching US soil?

I think one 350 came in through Japan, and was 'bouncing' every other leg international. Other than that, I don't know, but as 1Taco said, hopefully the 321's will quickly enter the country now.

I knew we had at least a couple 330s/350s playing the game where it only went between the 'accepting country' and the US. They weren't allowed to go US-to-US on a revenue flight.

Why is it taking 3yrs to find and certify a fix to the MAX 7 when the MAX 8 is being delivered concurrently the whole time with the same exact defective anti ice cowling interface?

would be nice to hear an update on the planes with the lay flats. Back in late winter the rumor was certification by June. Van driver hasn’t given any new updates since. Anyone? Bueller?

The July 320 newsletter shows 6 NEOs in storage. Only specifies 2 of them as lay flats and are the only 2 without an expect return to service date.
