WASHINGTON - The U.S. government’s decision to raise tariffs on European-built aircraft will hit U.S. airlines already facing a shortage of aircraft and complicate efforts to reach a negotiated settlement with the European Union, Airbus said. The European planemaker said it would continue discussions with its U.S. customers to “mitigate effects of tariffs insofar as possible” and hoped the U.S. Trade Representative’s office would change its position.

“USTR’s decision ignores the many submissions made by U.S. airlines, highlighting the fact that they – and the U.S. flying public – ultimately have to pay these tariffs,” the company said in a statement.

Airbus Puts Squeeze on Boeing’s 737 MAX as Crisis DragsEuropean plane maker Airbus is ramping up production of its bestselling single-aisle jet, moving to fill a hole in the market created by the prolonged grounding of rival Boeing’s 737 MAX. Wasn’t so long ago that Boeing was smirking about the A380. How times have changed 😂 Smaller seat space, and fewer engines...plus baggage fees. How could Boeing mess up so badly? 737, one of the safest jets in the sky was a no brainer! Who allowed such a screw-up? What was Boeing thinking? This has to be one of the largest screw-ups in business history! So disappointed with Boeing! I don't know if they survive this!
