Nope, it's not unheard of in aviation because a plane, or an engine, has a multi-decade life, over which there will be a lot of maintenance and spare parts needed.
GE and Rolls-Royce used to sell jet engines at a loss, banking on maintenance and spare parts making up the losses.
And of course, the punitive tariffs were later removed because Boeing weren't actually impacted by the C-series, dumping or not.
