Airbus to close one plant in southern Spain
10:14 am Wednesday, May 19th, 2021
PARIS (Reuters) – Airbus plans to end industrial production at one of its two factories in Cadiz, southern Spain, and merge them into one site spanning civil and defence activities, a spokesman said.
The plan – which is subject to negotiations – would avoid compulsory redundancies and follows months of speculation and protests over the future of the Puerto Real civil aerospace plant in the wake of a decision to halt A380 production.
