Boeing has restarted wide-body jet deliveries to China that were halted in recent weeks due to a Chinese regulatory review which also stalled new narrow-body deliveries by the U.S. planemaker, according to flight tracking data and two sources.
Boeing said in March that it was in talks to acquire fuselage maker Spirit AeroSystems. The deal comes after a big leadership shake-up at Boeing following a door panel that blew out midflight from a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9 jet.
Boeing said on Monday it would buy its struggling supplier Spirit AeroSystems in a $4.7 billion all-stock deal which was finalized after months of talks, as the aerospace giant tries to solve a full-blown safety and regulatory crisis that has engulfed its key supplier as well.

Boeing (BA) stock will be on investors' radars Monday after Reuters reported Sunday that the company has agreed to reacquire parts supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) for $4.7 billion and that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will criminally charge the airplane maker with fraud over two fatal crashes and ask it to plead guilty or face a trial.
Boeing earlier reached a deferred prosecution deal with the DOJ for two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. The DOJ now plans to charge Boeing with fraud after officials found Boeing violated that deal.
