July 1 (Reuters) – Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Friday “it is disappointing that geopolitical differences continue to limit US aircraft exports” as they responded that China’s three largest state-owned airlines bought 300 jets from European aircraft manufacturer Airbus SE (AIR) .PA).

The US aircraft manufacturer added that it continued to call for a productive dialogue between the US and Chinese authorities.

(This story was corrected to show that Airbus is a European manufacturer, not a French one.)
