Delta descubre un truco para eludir los aranceles del A350

✈ Delta, May 2025, France to Japan: Delta received an A350, registered N528DN, from Airbus in Toulouse on Wednesday. To avoid a 10% U.S. tariff on new European aircraft, Delta will operate it commercially from France to Tokyo Narita, making it used. CEO Ed Bastian confirms using this method since October 2019, when WTO rulings allowed U.S. tariffs on new European aircraft. Delta’s strategy exploits a legal loophole exempting used planes from tariffs.
