Airbus Tariffs

Wow, I wonder if this will affect future deliveries. Hopefully it doesn’t but interesting nonetheless. Maybe if Boeing could just build a plane that could actually fly...we wouldn’t be here.

I assume the tariffs don't apply to planes built in Alabama?

Exactly what I’m thinking. I’ve read a few articles about this, and most of them say the tariffs apply to Airbus parts not the planes as a whole. I’m sure there are many ways around it.

It WILL have an impact. The law of unintended consequences and all.

If the Administration really decides to go ahead and impose higher tariffs, which it could now, it would certainly affect F9, NK, B6, G4 etc.

It will affect ALL airbus operators who are taking deliveries from Europe. Most likely the cost of tickets will increase.

The Mobile, Alabama plant was exempted from the tariffs. F9 is not affected. Delta however is.
