Boeing's only answer to the A220 was to get the US administration to impose a 220% import tarif on it. It didn't even compete with Boeing models. Fuck Boeing.

- jeffbee 1y agoHow does such a tariff even work? Can't an airline finance all of its aircraft through an entity in the Maldives or whatever?

- apendleton 1y agoIt wasn't Airbus yet, so more like: Bombardier had to sale a controlling stake to Airbus to gain access to its Georgia production facilities.
- jeffbee 1y agoWhy, though? I am just wondering how it takes effect. The carriers often lease the planes from special-purpose entities. If such an entity is based in Liberia, where does the tariff apply?
