Aerospace Industry Warns of Tariff Impact on Air Safety

The U.S. aerospace industry has issued a warning that new tariffs on imported aircraft, jet engines, and parts pose a serious threat to air safety and the supply chain. The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), representing major manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus, urges the Commerce Department to extend the public comment period on Section 232 investigations and refrain from imposing new tariffs for at least 180 days. The AIA emphasizes that such tariffs could have ripple effects, further disrupting the aviation industry’s stability.
