Written by Seth Miller @ Dots, Lines & Destinations
Naming a stadium costs big bucks. And when the name is poorly phrased that can be all sorts of awkward as United is discovering. Niki gets another new owner, Bombardier won and Qatar faces up to some challenges.

Written by Seth Miller @ Wandering Aramean
How do you solve a 300% tariff problem? Move the final assembly line into the United States. Bombardier is poised to do precisely that with its CSeries jets thanks to a new (and somewhat unlikely) investor in the program: Airbus.

Bombardier, Delta lose in Boeing subsidy claims case
Written by Seth Miller @ Wandering Aramean
Boeing “won” its fight with Bombardier today, earning massive sanctions on new CSeries deliveries. Actually irrationally large tariffs even if one believes list price on a plane is what they cost. It is more than a little ridiculous.

Competition coming to London City’s TATL ops?
Written by Seth Miller @ Wandering Aramean
A couple months back Bombardier performed test flights with its CSeries aircraft at London’s City Airport.

United Airlines is no longer taking its planned 65 new 737-700 aircraft starting in 2017. That’s a big blow for Boeing, of course, but also raises all sorts of questions about the future fleet make-up for United.
