Delta Air Lines is executing a plan to avoid paying tariffs, as explained by its CEO, although details of the strategy were not entirely clear at the time. The company's approach underscores their determination to circumvent financial impositions on new jets.

Meanwhile, Lufthansa, the German airline, is reportedly considering a similar strategy. The company is exploring a legal loophole to potentially avoid tariffs on the delivery of new Boeing aircraft. This consideration indicates a proactive approach by the airline to manage and mitigate prospective financial burdens.

Both airlines' actions highlight their strategic initiatives to handle tariff challenges, reflecting broader industry efforts to navigate complex regulatory environments.
