Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has warned employees that threatened tariffs introduced by the Donal Trump would lead to increased aircraft costs.
The proposed tariffs could specifically affect the cost of certain parts sourced from Canada, including essential components like landing gear.
Ortberg expressed concerns about the fragile nature of Boeing’s supply-chain network, which is already facing risks of disruption due to trade tensions.
During his address, he indicated that rising costs from tariffs could have broader implications for the aviation industry and Boeing’s operations.
The company is navigating a challenging landscape as it addresses the potential impact of US trade policies on its manufacturing and overall financial health.
