In an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury stated that if US President Donald Trump’s tariffs affected the company’s imports in the US, Airbus might prioritise deliveries to non-US clients.
In addition to the levies he has imposed since taking office, Trump warned on Wednesday that he will announce additional tariffs within the next month or sooner. These duties could have an impact on a number of industries, including the aircraft sector and its suppliers.
Faury stated, “We can also adjust by bringing forward deliveries to other customers who are very eager to get planes, but we face very significant difficulties to deliver to the US due to the large demand from the rest of the world. When he presented Airbus’ annual results to reporters earlier in the day in Toulouse, he had stated that tariffs “should not be directly impacted by the group.”
“Yes, we purchase a lot of goods from the United States.” At the press conference, he stated, “We think tariffs in this business would be lose-lose since we sell to the US, manufacture, assemble, and develop in the US like few other companies.
According to the company’s website, Airbus spends 15 billion euros ($15.70 billion) a year with its network of over 2,000 suppliers in the US, making them the company’s largest single supplier.
