ATLANTA, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL)' DAL.N chief executive on Wednesday said the carrier did not play a role in pushing an industry-changing deal between planemakers Airbus AIR.PA and Bombardier BBDb.TO , as a regulatory spat between the United States and Canada threatened the future of a Bombardier plane program.
Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said that the spat over subsidy and dumping allegations pushed by Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co BA.N against Bombardier's C-Series jets would not affect possible future Delta orders of Boeing jets.
