Article reports that Airbus fears a six-month delay in a crucial World Trade Organisation report on Boeing, its US rival, could harm the European aircraft maker’s chances of winning a multi-billion-dollar Pentagon contract.

The delay is inflaming tensions between the groups, whose governments have been locked in a dispute in the WTO over allegations of subsidies.
