OTTAWA—Boeing Co. has no plans to back down in its trade dispute with Canadian rival Bombardier — a high-stakes, cross-border conflict that the U.S. transportation giant says could have long-term ramifications for the future of the entire aerospace sector. “Our government is of the view their action against Bombardier is unfounded. who would have said they wish they had confronted the uneven playing field.”Boeing and Airbus have been locked in their own trade dispute at the World Trade Organization for more than a decade. Many defence experts, including 13 retired air force commanders, have criticized the plan to purchase interim Super Hornets and called for an immediate competition to replace the CF-18s.
