United and American are both taking delivery of a steady stream of Airbus aircraft. Some are from Mobile but many are coming from XFW (and maybe TLS though Iβve not noticed that for any of Unitedβs A321neos). Beyond whole aircraft, aircraft from Mobile are assembled with many major components that are shipped (by sea) from Europe. Wouldnβt those components be subject to import tariffs? -- Karl > On Jul 14, 2025, at 7:57 PM, Bob Robeson via Mifnet <[email protected]> > wrote: > > All I can tell you is that used to be my line of work.
