Delta warns Trump's tariffs on commercial planes could ground millions a year, disrupt aircraft deliveries
Representative image Delta Air Lines has issued a stark warning that proposed tariffs under a national security investigation could severely disrupt its operations, potentially grounding flights for millions of passengers annually. In legal documentation submitted to the US government and shared with Fox News Digital, Delta objected to possible tariffs stemming from a Commerce Department probe into the national security implications of imported aviation equipment. The airline cautioned that 'without providing time to adjust, any potential tariffs would not only threaten US manufacturing of aircraft, it would also inhibit Delta's ability to purchase aircraft produced domestically or abroad.' Delta emphasized that new tariffs imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act would function as a sudden tax on long-standing purchase agreements, jeopardising both existing and future aircraft deals. 'If Commerce were to recommend tariffs under Section 232, the action would also impose an unexpected tax on Delta's purchases of aircraft contracted years in advance,' the airline stated. 'Delta would likely be forced to cancel existing contracts and reconsider contracts under negotiation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mitolyn 100% Natural Factory Direct CoreNature Shop Now Undo ' In 2023 and 2024, the organisation received 47 Airbus aircraft manufactured in Canada, Germany or France, according to the document. It stated that the inability to accept these aircraft due to tariffs would have necessitated flight cancellations, affecting approximately 10 million passengers each year. "A similar impact could be expected going forward if Commerce were to recommend Section 232 tariffs," the filing stated. The document further warned that the tariffs would undermine Delta's ongoing efforts to grow its skilled manufacturing services and compromise its ability to maintain a modern, competitive fleet for US consumers. White House spokesman Kush Desai confirmed to Fox News Digital that the administration remains committed to addressing national security concerns via the ongoing investigation. The Commerce Department has not issued further comment. According to the formal notice, 'On May 1, 2025, the Secretary of Commerce initiated an investigation under Section 232 (19 U.S.C. 1862) to determine the effects on national security of imports of commercial aircraft and jet engines, and parts for commercial aircraft and jet engines.' Delta CEO Ed Bastian had already hinted at the company's concerns. During an April earnings call, he noted that Delta would postpone accepting deliveries subject to tariffs, a signal of potential ripple effects across the airline's operations and customers.

Maruti launches flexible EMI plan to upgrade small cars to Grand Vitara
Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) is planning to launch a financial scheme aimed at making SUV ownership more accessible for entry-level car owners--including Alto, WagonR or similar segment buyers. Under this initiative, customers who own a small car of any brand, can purchase the Grand Vitara sport utility vehicle (SUV) through an EMI plan. The scheme, which will be piloted in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, allows customers to buy the Grand Vitara at a monthly instalment of nearly ₹9,999, which is nearly 20 per cent lower than standard EMIs available in the market, the company said. 'Our target is people who already own a small car and are ready to move want to make that upgrade easy and accessible,' said Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer, sales & marketing, MSIL, in an interview with Business Standard. According to the plan, the customer's existing car will be treated as the down payment and its valuation will vary based on factors such as age, ownership history, and mileage. Customers will also be eligible for an exchange bonus. The remaining cost will be financed and paid back over a five-year tenure. One of the key features of the scheme is the guaranteed buyback option. After five years or 75,000 km of usage, customers will have the option to return the vehicle at an assured value of 50 per cent of the original ex-showroom price. Alternatively, they can retain the car by paying the remaining balance. 'This is a flexible and low-risk option for customers. It gives them a sense of assurance and helps ease the financial burden of moving into a more premium vehicle,' Banerjee said. This is the first time a mass market car manufacturer has launched such an EMI upgrade scheme. The offer is valid across all variants of the Grand Vitara SUV, with EMI amounts varying depending on the model selected. Banerjee added that the company will monitor the response in the three pilot cities. 'If the model works well, we'll expand it to other cities and extend it to more models -- especially our upcoming e-Vitara,' he said. Global premium automakers have long offered trade-in and flexible finance options to make high-end models more accessible. Mercedes-Benz, for example, offers a 'guaranteed future value' plan that bundles easy EMIs with assured returns on trade-ins. These initiatives have helped luxury brands attract younger professionals, a strategy Maruti now seems to be adapting for the mass-market SUV buyer. The timing of Maruti's scheme also coincides with a prolonged slump in India's small-car segment. Maruti Chairman RC Bhargava has previously flagged this trend as a concern, warning that a continued drop in naturally affordable small cars could hamper overall market growth. With vehicle prices steadily rising across segments and financing costs remaining a concern for many middle-income households, the company believes this initiative could tap into a large, underserved segment of aspiring SUV buyers. 'This kind of scheme gives them affordability, flexibility, and a clear exit path — all rolled into one,' Banerjee noted.
