U.S. imposing 220% duty on Bombardier CSeries planes
Rival Boeing was seeking an 80% duty on the CSeries (www.cbc.ca) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
simple solution: create a Delta Canada and let them have the planes C-registered; and then let Delta Canada rent the planes to Delta USA. Then there is no import anymore and so no import duty.
That had been suggested, but then they run up against more regulators who take a dim view of foreign registered aircraft being used for domestic service. It would be fun to watch though.

This guy knows somethin. And it's a longer read than the link! And old. Seems we talked about some of this. Seems Boeing has been deliverin airplanes forever and they are "still around". They are in bidness, as is Bombardier and the fact is that the case will be determined by "politics", and Boeings dumb lawyers. Bet the Preach would be rootin for Boeing, and the US. But He is now using the anointed button, Not to be read. Boeing bids for, wins contracts, and delivers airplanes to the US government, and the highest bidder in the airline bidness. If that is a subsidy, I rest my case. When will the Quebecois take delivery of the CS airplanes they have paid for?

Another thought - it’s a pre-emptive strike.... Boeing sees the C300series as a threat....
a wrong trade war at a wrong time ! this is, as said rightfully by others a political garbage full of money and opportunities for lawyers and lobbyists. It won't help as precedent when time will come to see the new Chinese and Russian airliners coming to the markets. For sure it's a lost battle for Boeing and the US just as is the ongoing war against NAFTA and free trade agreements.
Having a suspicious mind, the following thought for you. Boeing gave up on small jet manufacturing many years ago. Obviously there is no damage, etc caused by bombardier since Boeing simply was not in the game. So it is a ruse. Boeing knows how badly managed Bombardier is, further hamstrung by its Canada & Quebec political supporters. Bring the company down, then buy bombardier at a fire sale price. Then suddenly Boeing is back into the small jet business with no startup costs, etc. Bombardier has been propped up too long and at tremendous expense to the Canadian and Quebec taxpayers and Boeing knows it. Further bombardier is a political item, not a business item. Also Boeing has a big investment in Manitoba so they are not going to scuttle that by a nonsense complaint. It is one big poker game with high stakes. My money is on Boeing.
Another possibility is Boeing acquires bombardier, then immediately shuts down all operations, transfers technology and manufacturing to a US facility (not overnight though). This will satisfy Trump’s Make America Great, and ingratiate them to him. Like I said there is a bigger game going on, more than the C series. Does the Avro debacle come to mind?
It is totally a nonsense complaint..Do you, Boeing or the US Government know how much the planes were sold for? NO.. Boeing isn't "hamstrung" by its US and state supporters?..Boeing hasn't "dumped" aircraft(seems to me a 737 with a price tag of almost $85USD mil gets sold for $22USD mil, I'd say that was dumping)...see the funny thing is, we basically own Bombardier Aerospace division..WE as in the Canadian taxpayer both at federal and provincial levels..you obviously know little of Canadian laws..Boeing can;t just come in all willy-nilly and buy Bombardier.
I'm sorry but my money is on Canada!
