    BOEING Co and Airbus SE voiced concerns about a proposed tie-up of two leading suppliers on Tuesday, potentially upsetting United Technologies Corp's US$23 billion acquisition of Rockwell Collins Inc.

    The world's largest planemakers added to the chorus of sceptics of a deal that would create an aerospace behemoth with a range of products to outfit jetliners and warplanes.
