Airbus pauses production at French and Spanish sites

Airbus today issued a statement outlining the measures it is taking in response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, as it closely monitors the evolution of the virus across the globe and constantly assesses the situation and the impact on employees, customers, suppliers and the business.

Following the implementation of new measures in France and Spain to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, Airbus has decided to temporarily pause production and assembly activities at its French and Spanish sites across the Company for the next four days.

It says this will allow sufficient time to implement stringent health and safety conditions in terms of hygiene, cleaning and self-distancing, while improving the efficiency of operations under the new working conditions. In those countries, the Company will also continue to maximise homeworking wherever possible.

These measures will be implemented locally in coordination with the social partners. Airbus is also working together with its customers and suppliers to minimise the impact of this decision on their operations.
