Boeing has decided not to appeal the ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission overturning an earlier decision by the Commerce Department to impose steep tariffs on Bombardier C Series narrowbodies sold in the U.S., a Boeing spokeswoman confirmed. Boeing’s decision effectively ends its attempts to block a the sale of 75 C Series CS100s to Delta Air Lines through a process by which it had hoped the ITC would impose duties of nearly 300 percent of the price of each airplane. Asked by AIN to explain the reasons for its decision to drop the case, Boeing declined to elaborate.
