Chinese airlines had a slight scramble on Monday after they were ordered to ground their Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft as China became the first country to take the precautionary move following a second crash of the model in five months.
The move is significant because China operates the largest B-737 Max 8 fleet, with 97 planes, or over a quarter of global deployment. Chinese data provider VariFlight said that of the 355 flights planned for B-737 Max 8 jets on Monday, at least 29 were cancelled, though the majority were switched to other planes.
China's three largest airlines - Air China, China Southern and China Eastern - which together operate just over half of the country's B-737 Max 8 jets, said they had fully switched to other models.
