China Eastern files claim against Boeing

Carrier seeks compensation for losses arising from 737 MAX safety issues

Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines has sought compensation from the Boeing Co for incurring considerable losses after the grounding of the US aircraft maker's 737 MAX aircraft following two major crashes.

The carrier filed a claim against Boeing for the losses caused by 14 suspensions of 737 MAX aircraft since March 11 and delayed the delivery of the model it had booked earlier, the People's Daily said on Tuesday.
