Abstract: The competition between Airbus and Boeing has taken a new course in 2005, when both have taken centre stage at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) over the subsidies. The European Union (EU) and the US filed suits with the WTO accusing each other of the subsidies that they have given to Airbus and Boeing respectively. The Airbus-Boeing dispute, pending at the WTO, is a unique trade dispute as neither say that they have not subsidised, instead both parties question the amount the other has provided. Both defend the charges saying that the aeroplane manufacturing is exorbitantly expensive and highly risky, while The Economist maintains that both parties are at fault, as neither of the companies requires subsidies in the first place and capital markets finance far more risky projects. |
