U.S. International Trade Commission says C Series planes do not harm U.S. industry, Delta welcomes decision

Bombardier Inc. has won its fight against almost 300 per cent duties applied to U.S. imports of its C Series aircraft.
The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., ruled Friday that "100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft from Canada do not injure U.S. industry."
Boeing had claimed it stood to suffer harm by the planes, even though aircraft destined for U.S. customers are now slated to come from a new assembly line near the Airbus facility in Mobile, Ala.
Victory for Canada and Bombardier
It's a victory for Canada as well as Bombardier and should "put some wind in the sails" of current NAFTA negotiations, said Karl Moore, an associate professor of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University in Montreal.
It's "a great, almost stunning victory for Bombardier, given some of the comments of the Trump administration and some other people, but it strikes me as a very sound decision," he told CBC News.
"When you look at it as an industry analyst, this seems to be the right decision — that Boeing was not hurt by the C Series and Delta's decision to buy it, particularly in light of Airbus's taking over the ownership of C Series and building it in Alabama."
Boeing launched the trade case last April, arguing that governments in Canada and Britain subsidized the plane's development and allowed Bombardier to sell it at unfairly low prices.
The Department of Commerce imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties totalling 292.21 per cent.
