Airlines say they are studying legal options over aircraft delivery delays

The airline industry is evaluating legal options over aircraft delivery delays that have hampered growth, but prefers to work with manufacturers collaboratively, the head of the International Air Transport Association said on Monday.

IATA Director General Willie Walsh also told reporters that airlines would resist any attempt by planemakers or other suppliers to raise their prices due to tariffs, but that there were no signs of plane prices being pushed higher so far.
