>“We are not planning to pay tariffs on aircraft deliveries,” Bastian said in an interview this week as Delta reported earnings, echoing his previous remarks. He said tariffs were partly responsible for the planes not being imported into the US.
Can't imagine they're altering orders in a big way either right?
Just waiting it out?

As an airline, they can take delivery anywhere in the world to avoid tariffs, like avoiding sales tax on a supercar by plating it in Montana or avoiding corporate tax by funneling through Ireland via the Double Irish arrangement.

They don’t seem to be doing so. If it was that simple I would expect them to do so.

Yes I quoted that too...
I'm not sure what you're saying they could do. They're stripping the planes for parts, not taking delivery elsewhere and then utilizing the whole plane.
