Bombardier in talks to reshuffle Delta CSeries deliveries
Bombardier is in talks to reshuffle Delta Air Line CSeries delivery slots with other customers in case a trade dispute holds up the US carrier's order, a senior executive said Sunday. A US trade commission will decide in early 2018 on whether to impose duties of nearly 300% on the CSeries, after Boeing complained the planes had been subsidised and sold below cost in the US. Delta, which ordered 75 CSeries jets in 2016, and Bombardier have each said they are unwilling to swallow the duties. "We are looking at alternative opportunities for aircraft to be delivered to other customers," Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president Fred Cromera said. He declined to name who Bombardier was in talks with, but said the company intended to deliver the 40 to 45 CSeries jets it had said it would in 2018 even if the Delta order was held up. <br/>
