AEROSPACE workers warned against complacency yesterday after Bombardier sold its Northern Ireland-made C-Series to Airbus.

Unite urged the British government to press the US to abandon plans to impose tariffs totalling 300 per cent on the state-of-the-art airliner, which could jeopardise around 14,000 jobs in Northern Ireland, where the aircraft’s wings are made. 

Canada’s Bombardier announced on Monday that Airbus was taking a controlling 50.01 per cent stake in the the C-Series — for no payment.
