Pilatus <\/strong>halts US deliveries: <\/strong>Swiss aircraft manufacturer Pillatus Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG has suspended deliveries to the US, citing \u201cmassive additional costs\u201d caused by the US tarrifs, Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Friday citing a statement. This comes a right after President Donald Trump\u2019s 39% tariffs<\/a> on Switzerland came into effect. The firm is export-dependent, as the US makes up c.40% of Pilatus\u2019 orders every year. <\/p>\n

Next steps:<\/strong> Pilatus will be cooperating with customers to send the plans to other markets besides the US, according to the news outlet. The firm is also expediting the construction of its assembly plant in Florida, where aircraft will be built and assembled fully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
