Bombardier 'B'

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Bombardier will no longer be allowed to sell in the United States unless it begins manufacturing in the country, calling its products "not good enough". He framed the move as requiring Bombardier to stop "treating America like a piggybank". The comment follows an ongoing Canada-US trade dispute in which Trump previously threatened decertification of Bombardier jets and 50% import tariffs while Canada later certified several Gulfstream planes. » More on finance.yahoo.com

US President Donald Trump announces plans to impose a 50 percent import tariff on aircraft manufactured in Canada and to revoke US approvals for Bombardier and other Canadian jets. He says Canada has denied operating permits to Gulfstream models, thereby hindering their sale. Bombardier says it is in contact with the Canadian government and warns of significant impacts on air travel, since CRJ regional aircraft and the A220 would also be affected. The announcement follows earlier tariff threats by Trump toward Canada in the context of economic ties with China. » More on n-tv.de

The NTSB recommended the FAA require operators of 10 Bombardier Learjet models to ensure the main landing gear is correctly attached, citing a fatal Feb. 10 Scottsdale runway accident and three prior disconnections caused by a retaining bolt not engaging an aft pin. The recommendation would cover 1,883 aircraft currently in service and follows a Bombardier service bulletin; only 12% of airplanes have been inspected so far. The NTSB also urged mandatory post-maintenance visual checks and a revision of procedures to prevent incorrect bolt installation. » More on yahoo.com
