Here’s one area where tariffs are seriously disruptive.

Posted by ferrett @ 6:36 on April 11, 2025  

Delta airways have orders for 200 planes from Airbus. When they’re delivered, they will cost an extra 20%. Or 10%. Or 37%. Or whatever is flavour of the month at the time. So they cancel the delivery; they can’t afford another 20%, and airbus ain’t gonna pay the tariff either. Delta don’t want to buy Boeing ‘cos they’re riven with every scandal imaginable, planes falling out of the sky, bits falling off mid-flight, late deliveries, DEI disasters – who would buy American? Who would want to deal with America, take sales orders for a $101m machine when it might get cancelled at delivery time? And Boeing can think, “well, people will have to buy our stuff no matter how crappy it is, as there is no alternative. Sucks for them!”
