# In order to avoid U.S. tariffs, Delta's new aircraft "took a detour"

In order to avoid annoying tariffs, Delta Air Lines has racked its brains and cleverly routed through Tokyo, disguising the brand new Airbus A350 as "second-hand goods."

On Tuesday, Aviation Magazine reported:

Delta Air Lines seems to have found a way to circumvent the U.S. tariffs on new aircraft. Instead of flying its brand new Airbus A350 (registration number N528DN) directly from the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France, to the United States, Delta changed its route to fly to Tokyo, Japan.

Why take the long way? Delta operates the aircraft internationally first and then brings it to the U.S., so when the aircraft arrives in the U.S., it is not classified as a "new aircraft," potentially avoiding high import tariffs.

Other airlines have also adopted similar strategies, and the aircraft is currently flying under flight number DL9936.

It is worth mentioning that during a previous earnings call, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told investors, "We will not pay tariffs on any aircraft deliveries."
