First collapse – Airers are worried about business because of American rates

However, the aviation industry is still enigmatic about future circumstances, while the EU and the US negotiate. The American basic rate of ten percent and 25 percent special rates on cars, car parts and steel and aluminum are currently in force. Parts of civil aircraft and planes have so far been excluded according to a WTO agreement of 1980.

However, a look at the US internal market shows that authorities, business people and private passengers book fewer domestic flights, for example for fear of inflation. The large airlines have therefore corrected their expectations and sometimes no longer dare to make predictions of the business figures. Virgin Atlantic Airways reported the booking of falls in their long -distance flights between the US and Great Britain.

Concern about supply chains
The greater care for the supply chains for the construction of modern passenger aircraft. According to a line of Euler Hermes, Airbus has more than 2,000 suppliers, Boeing at least 345, of whom the majority is also in a possible duty obligation. Due to enormous production and approval problems, Boeing in particular is already overdue with its deliveries. In Lufthansa there were 242 fixed aircraft orders in the turn of the beginning of the year, 101 Jets must come from Boeing.

China is said to have instructed his airlines not to take over machines from the American aircraft manufacturer and no longer offer equipment or parts. With the European competitor Airbus, the order books with ten times the annual production are overcrowded.

There may also be winners in the short term, such as EasyJet, whose boss hopes for extra passengers in Europe as American trips will be left.
