U.S. Rejects Airbus Plane Sale to Syria
(AP/Ynet News) The U.S. has rejected a bid by Airbus SAS to sell planes to Damascus, Syria's transportation minister said. The Syrian daily Tishrin reported Monday that Syria will buy Russian-made Tupolev passenger jets instead. The U.S. Commerce Department turned down a request by the France-based Airbus to lift the U.S. embargo on sales of planes to Syria. U.S. sanctions affect sales to Syria by a non-U.S. company if the planes use American components.
