Boeing will not appeal case against Bombardier

MONTREAL — Aircraft giant Boeing said Thursday night it will not appeal a ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission that allows its Canadian rival Bombardier to sell its newest commercial jets without heavy duties. Boeing launched a trade case with the independent International Trade Commission last April, arguing that governments in Canada and Britain subsidized development of Bombardier’s C Series commercial jets and allowed the Montreal-based company to sell it at unfairly low prices. But in a surprise decision in January, the ITC voted unanimously in favour of Bombardier, saying Boeing didn’t suffer harm from prospective imports of C Series planes.
