ATLANTA (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines' (N:DAL) chief executive on Wednesday said the carrier did not play a role in pushing an industry-changing deal between planemakers Airbus (PA:AIR) and Bombardier (TO:BBDb), as a regulatory spat between the United States and Canada threatened the future of a Bombardier plane programme.
Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said that the spat over subsidy and dumping allegations pushed by Boeing Co (N:BA) against Bombardier's C-Series jets would not affect possible future Delta orders of Boeing jets.
