The twin-engine Boeing 737 is one of the world’s most popular aircraft for short and medium-haul flights. It remains unclear which variant of the Boeing 737 was involved in the crash in Guangxi. China Eastern is one of China’s three major airlines. The airline operates several versions of this aircraft, including the 737-800 and 737 Max.
Versions of the 737 Max have been discontinued worldwide after two fatal crashes. China’s aviation regulator allowed the planes to return to service late last year, making the country the last major market to do so.
The last fatal plane crash in China was in 2010, when 44 of the 96 people died when a Henan Airlines Ambraer E-190 crashed while approaching Yichun Airport. , Jiangxi is in low visibility conditions, according to the Aviation Safety Network.
