"AIA welcomes the World Trade Organization ruling today as reported in the press that the European government's launch aid to Airbus is not consistent with its rules. This is a positive action to help ensure the long-term health of the global aerospace enterprise. While preliminary, the ruling provides much-needed guidance to WTO members that are involved in or considering entering into civil aircraft production."
