Bombardier wins tariff appeal

Aircraft manufacturer Bombardier has won its case against United States proposals to impose tariffs of 292 per cent on its imports to America in a move which should safeguard thousands of jobs in Belfast.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) said rival manufacturer Boeing did not suffer injury from Delta Airlines’ order of Bombardier’s C Series passenger jets. The C Series wings are produced in the Northern Irish capital and workers reacted with jubilation to the news.
