BA Stock Up 7.5% as Chinese Aviation Authority to Clear Boeing 737 Max

The shares of Boeing Co (NYSE: BA), an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide closed Thursday’s trading session up 7.54% to $202.38. The shares leaped on a news report by Bloomberg that the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is rounding up plans to recertify the Boeing 737 Max to take up to the skies again.

The Boeing Aircraft was grounded globally about 4 years ago on a safety account following about two fatal crashes back then. While a number of countries have recertified the Boeing 737 Max, the Chinese authorities have issued a number of personalized requirements that will aid in easy reconsideration of the aircraft.

Some of these demands include the installation of a number of specific software on the aircraft that operates out of China, adding some unique changes to the airplane’s flight manual, “among other changes.” This list is expected to meet “the corrective actions are adequate to address this unsafe condition,” confirmed the CAAC.

While the last part of the requirement appears open-ended and may make the list or its content longer than can be handled, however, Boeing is likely to be operating in full gear to meet the demands being set. The Wall Street Journal did not give indications as to when the Chinese authorities will clear the aircraft if all of the set demands are adhered to.

BA Stock Prospects if 737 Max Returns to Flying

Boeing (BA) is one of the premium aircraft manufacturers currently in operation today, and while the grounding of the 737 Max took its toll on the outlook of the firm and its share growth, a reverse trend is likely to be ushered in henceforth.

Boeing has hundreds of orders in the pipeline ready for delivery in China and the investor’s enthusiasm on the news of recertification is indicative of the hope that lifting this ban will spike a new line of orders. China, ranking as the most populous nation in the world is also arguably one of the biggest markets for Boeing and a host of other global brands. The progress it is making to get back on track to doing business with the flagship aircraft brand is a show of the importance the company attaches to the Asian country.

The shares have tapered their growth in the Pre-Market where they slipped by 0.18%, however, this does not negate the immediate future potentials of the stock ahead of the great milestones it is set to print.
