New Delhi (Reuters) – Airlines warned trade barriers that promise to resist the global economy and oppose the efforts to pass the tariffs for higher prices for manufacturers.

Airline cartridges also complained that record passenger numbers of “unacceptable” aircraft delays are reduced to the increase in growth, as the International Air Transport Union has shaved the main forecast for industry’s extensive profit in 2025.

“Like all forms of connections, the flying world is more prosperous,” IATA Director General Willie Walsh said the group’s annual meeting in the new Delhi.

“It stands as opposed to the division of a system based on isolation, trade barriers and multilateral rules. This destroys its wealth and low living standards. It is an important message when we live.”

Sweeping tariffs applied by the US President Donald Trump have been afraid of many consumers, especially in the United States, referring to many consumers to delay or scalt travel plans in the United States.

“Consumer is uncertain,” said JetBlue Airways CEO Joanna Geraghty.

IATA now waits that global airline earns $ 36.0 billion in a $ 36.0 billion agreement this year, but 36.6 billion dollars in December, but last year there are up to $ 32.4 billion.

Walsh said that there was no evidence so far, the plane prices have increased due to tariffs, but airlines will resist any attempt for more charges.

Engine manufacturer Ge Aerospace and several aerospace groups, said they have passed with tariff expenses in an additional payment.

IATA represents 300 airline and 80% of global traffic.

Delivery delays

More people fly more than ever before the restoration of the pandemic passenger market, but the growth of airline is hindered with extended delivery delays and supplied distress.

Walsh called the delivery delays in the planes for this decade.

According to him, the airline evaluated legal options on delays, but preferred to work with producers.

“The production sector is badly unsuccessful,” he said.

Planmakers Airbus and Boeing did not have comments immediately.

IATA said the number of suppliers planned for 2025 was 26% less than the promised year ago.

“Slingshots are unforgivized. We are transparency, open and annoyed and annoyed and annoyed,” Airbus customer Steven Greenway, Saudi budget carrier, told Reuters.
