The head of Delta Air Lines says his company does not expect to pay any tariffs related to its purchase of CSeries jets from Montreal-based Bombardier, but expects to complete the order as planned. 'We are not going to pay any tariff, and we do expect to take the airplanes," Bastian said. "We will not pay the tariffs that are being discussed or debated," which Bastian stressed were "preliminary." "Delta has been supporting Bombardier throughout the process and its CEO, Ed Bastian, reaffirmed the airline's intention to take possession of its CSeries aircraft. This is the message that we should get out of this," spokesman Simon Letendre said.
