The U.S. imposed duties on Bombardier Inc.’s marquee jetliner after Boeing Co. complained that the Canadian company received unfair government help.
Exporters of 100- to 150-seat Canadian aircraft received subsidies worth almost 220 percent, the Commerce Department said Tuesday in Washington. The U.S. will begin collecting preliminary duties to offset the public assistance, a move that would potentially upend Bombardier’s planned deliveries of its C Series jets to Delta Air Lines Inc. next year.
