Delta says will take CSeries jets made in Canada, US
Delta Air Lines said Thursday it will proceed with plans to buy some Canadian-made CSeries jets from Bombardier this year, after a US trade ruling stopped the US from imposing steep duties on the aircraft. The airline said it intended to meet “contractual commitments” and would start taking deliveries this year of the 75 CSeries jets it ordered in 2016. The jets are made at a plant in the Canadian province of Quebec. Production is set to begin for US customers at an Airbus plant in Mobile, Alabama, after the European planemaker closes a deal this year to acquire a majority stake in the CSeries program. “Delta still intends to take as many deliveries as possible from the new Airbus/Bombardier facility in Mobile, Alabama, as soon as that facility is up and running,” the carrier said. <br/>
