The U.S. Commerce Department has initiated a Section 232 investigation into the commercial aircraft industry to evaluate potential tariffs or quotas aimed at protecting national security. This investigation, launched on May 1, focuses on the impact of foreign subsidies, trade practices, and state-sponsored overproduction on competition and pricing. The department seeks input from stakeholders on whether additional measures are necessary and will assess domestic manufacturing capacity and demand for aircraft components. Comments from affected organizations are due by June 3.
