China Southern Airlines is considering further delays to its Boeing 737 MAX orders amid ongoing safety concerns.
The airline will conduct additional safety inspections on its incoming MAX 8s at the request of China's Civil Aviation Authority.
China's aviation market may be shifting towards the COMAC C919, as the aircraft already has orders from multiple Chinese airlines.
