Britain puts its weight behind Europe in the battle between Boeing and Bombardier

For the British government Bombardier’s survival as a planemaker is critical since it brings about a sense of stability, prosperity and job security to its citizens in East Belfast where Bombardier has a unit employing more than 4,000 people. The U.S trade action will mean that the cost of its Cseries aircrafts will be thrice as expensive as Boeing’s offerings of the same seat capacity.
