Boeing's crisis-ridden 737-Max received re-registration in Australia at the end of February 2021. There is currently no operator of this pattern on the southern continent, so the effects of the lifting of the no-fly will be very limited.

The Chinese Civil Aviation Authority is still sticking to the grounding. It is currently not foreseeable when the flight ban could be lifted. China is an extremely important market for Boeing because it was able to sell a large number of machines here.

In Australia, Virgin Australia is waiting for the delivery of 25 Boeing 737-Max-10s. Due to the delays, it is not expected that the first unit can be handed over before mid-2023. Boeing has no other fixed orders on this continent.

According to CASA, Fiji Airways and Singapore Airlines (Silk Air) are now allowed to fly to Australia with Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. Since the offers are currently heavily thinned out or paused, the Max will remain a rather rare guest on the southern continent.
