used Airbuses?
I heard that due to tariffs, U.S.-based airlines will pay hugely more for a new Airbus plane than for a new comparable Boeing one. However, used Airbuses are not tariff'ed (or at least not as much). "Used" is defined as any aircraft having been flown more than testing and delivery miles. So, as reported, some clever bunnies are having Airbus units delivered to an airport, flown to a second airport, and then buying them as "used" for use by U.S.-based airlines. Don't remember which airline(s) found and are using the loophole, but good on them for finding a workaround to the 737MAX.
