Think the govs lost their vetoes a while ago. Airbus is now a play by American asset managers AFAIK. Since the market’s mature, it’s more attractive and profitable to buy up programs like the A220 and farm EU subsidies vs. betting on a Boeing turnaround.
It certainly was in the beginnings. But more recently? Can you give any examples or data how?
Of course they take all subsidies they get, but that does not distinguish that from many other big companies not founded on government initiative.
