Issue 51 – From Both Sides Now

Since 2011 our JETNET iQ Surveys have reached owners and operators in 140+ countries. With 27,000+ responses, these surveys transform trusted data streams into actionable intelligence—the secret sauce we bring to the table.

In this issue we delve into trade tariffs—now a preferred negotiating tool of the U.S. administration. Broad‑based tariffs are a blunt economic instrument with far‑reaching, often unintended consequences. Yet civil‑aircraft manufacturing remains globally integrated and largely U.S.‑centred, thriving for 45+ years under the tariff‑free Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft (ATCA). In short: free trade works, no matter which side of the negotiating table you sit on.
