China Eastern may make 737 MAX claim

Carrier in communication with Boeing, says it will act together with CAAC

Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines has confirmed that it had raised its demand for claims with Boeing after two Boeing 737 MAX aircraft crashes, adding that its final demand will be in line with that of the aviation administration because more than one carrier in China is using the model.

A source from China Eastern, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told China Daily on Wednesday that the carrier is in communication with Boeing on MAX-related issues, but is not ready to make any announcement yet.
