U.S. trade group backs taking Airbus to WTO
John Douglass, president and CEO of the U.S.

John Douglass, president and CEO of the U.S. Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) firmly backs the Bush administration’s decision to proceed with its case at the World Trade Organization on the question of alleged direct and indirect subsidies provided to Airbus by four European Union member states. He accused Airbus of seeking improper government aid from France, Germany, Spain and the UK in the shape of repayable loans for the launch of its new A350 aircraft and insisted that the U.S. had a strong case against the European Union.
