Yesterday evening, February 18th, the EADS Board of Directors interrupted its work on Power8. The meeting will be resumed within the next days to find an agreement regarding the cross national sharing of the industrial workload related to the A350XWB. Consequently, the Airbus work council “ECA” meeting planned on February 20th has been postponed.

The Group includes the aircraft manufacturer Airbus, the world's largest helicopter supplier Eurocopter and EADS Astrium, the European leader in space programmes from Ariane to Galileo. EADS is the major partner in the Eurofighter consortium, develops the A400M military transport aircraft, and holds a stake in the joint venture MBDA, the international leader in missile systems.
