A large U.S. contingent returns to Paris for the biennial airshow as the industry faces surging demand across the board and, at the same time, turbulence surrounding tariffs that are bringing new levies on an industry that has enjoyed a duty-free status for decades.

For the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the show presents an opportunity to highlight to the global stage that the U.S. remains open for business. Importantly, in the context of the Trump administration's contentious tariff policy, the group also views it as an opportunity to signal to political leaders in Washington, D.C. that the U.S. industry has long delivered a positive trade balance for the national economy.
