Gold prices edge up amid Fed rate cut hopes; US-Russia talks awaited
Investing.com -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has issued a warning that new tariffs on imported airplanes and parts could potentially disrupt its ability to purchase foreign-made planes. This would have a significant effect on millions of its customers.
The airline, based in Atlanta, conveyed its concerns to the U.S. Commerce Department. It noted that in 2023 and 2024, it received a total of 47 Airbus aircraft from Canada, Germany, and France. If tariffs had prevented the carrier from accepting these planes, it would have resulted in flight cancellations affecting approximately 10 million customers.
Delta Air Lines further stated that if the current administration decides to impose new tariffs, a similar outcome could be anticipated in the future. This underscores the potential broad impact of such trade policy decisions on both businesses and consumers.
