US Europe trade wars : the case of Boeing vs. Airbus / written by Prashant Kulkarni.

• Boeing and Airbus, for long, had dominated the market for large passenger aircraft. The battle often took acrimonious turns with even the governments pitching in for the companies. One such issue cropped up in late 2004. In late 2004, the US accused the European governments of subsidizing Airbus, giving it an unfair edge over Boeing. They filed a complaint before the World Trade Organization (WTO) in this regard. European Union (EU) too filed a counter-complaint alleging indirect subsidization of Boeing through offer of military and space contracts. The three month time to resolve the issue mutually expired on April 6, 2005. Now, analysts were wondering what turn the issue would take.
