ATLANTA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) DAL.N said on Tuesday it was unclear when the Bombardier CSeries BBDb.TO jets would be delivered, as a proposed U.S. government tariff on the planes complicates the future of the Canadian-made aircraft.
Speaking to reporters in Atlanta, Chief Operating Officer Gil West said the delivery schedule of the plane was still "something of a question mark."
On Monday, Airbus SE AIR.PA agreed to take a majority stake in CSeries jetliner program, a deal that could allow the Canadian planemaker to sidestep U.S. tariffs threatened in a trade dispute with Boeing (NYSE:BA) BA.N . Lufthansa says CSeries' future more sustainable after Airbus deal
