Delta Air Lines Defers Airbus Deliveries Due to U.S. Tariffs

Delta Air Lines, one of the largest carriers in the United States, has decided to delay receiving new Airbus aircraft.

Recently imposed US tariffs on goods from the European Union and Canada directly affect aircraft manufactured by Airbus. These extra costs have pushed Delta to rethink its delivery schedule.

The airline’s CEO, Ed Bastian, has been vocal about this: Delta won’t pay tariffs on new planes. Instead, the intention is to wait until the financial burden eases.
