Explain how the Airbus-Boeing subsidies are justified by both firms.

What will be an ideal response?


Both firms have various arguments in support of their subsidies. Boeing and U.S. officials claim that Airbus receives unfair subsidies that put Boeing at a competitive disadvantage and that the U.S. subsidies to Boeing offset this competitive disadvantage. Airbus and European officials argue that subsidies to Airbus are necessary to keep Boeing from becoming a monopoly in airline production and thus being able to increase the cost of planes to airlines in Europe.
