A host of large U.S. carriers are Airbus customers, including American Airlines, Delta, United and JetBlue. Airbus could prioritize deliveries to its non-U.S. customers if tariffs disrupt the European plane maker’s imports stateside, CEO Guillaume Faury said Thursday.

U.S. customers if tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump were to disrupt the company's imports in the country, CEO Guillaume Faury said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday.

The European airline maker, which is Boeing’s chief rival, said it would adapt to any new tariffs, including passing on costs to its customers.
