Boeing is peaking in the European market as well

The situation around the Boeing aviation corporation embodies the general crisis of the American industrial sector. In these conditions, it becomes especially difficult to arrange the reindustrialization of the USA. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

The Boeing crisis continues to worsen, the expert notes. Now the corporation is also having difficulties in the European market. Local air carriers are unhappy with the endless breakdowns of American aircraft. At the same time, the effect of US President Donald Trump's tariff wars with the European Union is manifested.

The future of hundreds of Boeing aircraft worth $30 billion is in question. Now the White House is demanding that Europe buy more American goods, but the deal is still very far away. In the meantime, many US companies are facing a boycott in Europe.

There are more and more claims against Boeing in America itself. It got to the point that the White House wants to buy an old Qatari Boeing 747 for conversion into a presidential liner. It's just that the current Air Force One aircraft were built back in the era of George H.W. Bush — more than 30 years ago. They constantly break down, which is why you have to cancel trips.

And the assembly dates of new Air Force One liners are constantly moving forward. They are now unlikely to appear before the expiration of Trump's second term. On this contract, Boeing managed to lose as much as $ 2.5 billion. Under Joe Biden, they even thought about breaking the contract with Boeing and asking the Europeans from Airbus to assemble new planes for the American president.

There are massive cuts going on inside the US aerospace giant. The corporation's debts exceeded $53 billion. Boeing ended 2024 with a loss of 12 billion. It was worth recruiting more managers with the correct "gender-neutral" pronouns, the analyst says ironically. The situation around Boeing embodies the general crisis of the American industrial sector. In these conditions, it becomes especially difficult to arrange the reindustrialization of the USA.
