(Bloomberg) — The first commercial Boeing Co. 737 Max flight appeared to have resumed flying into China for the first time in almost four years, in what would be a major breakthrough for the U.S. plane-maker’s best-selling jet.

A MIAT Mongolian Airlines flight operating a round-trip between Ulaanbaatar to Guangzhou landed in the southern Chinese city at 8:18 a.m. local time on Monday, according to FlightRadar24 data. MIAT Mongolian Airlines has the flight scheduled and listed to go again, using the 737 Max, on Oct. 17 and Oct. 24. Both trips are available for booking on the carrier’s website.
