Airbus: Hard Brexit could heavily impact UK operations, supply chain
Airbus said it will need to reconsider its footprint, investments and dependency on the UK in the event of a hard Brexit. Detailing its concerns in a briefing paper published June 21—almost 2 years after the Brexit referendum—the manufacturer said the UK leaving without a deal on a transition process, as well as exiting the European single market, the customs union and the European Court of Justice, would heavily impact its UK operations and its wider supply chain. Airbus employs 14,000 people across 25 sites in the UK and builds the wings for many airliners at Hawarden in North Wales, but said the frictions caused by a hard Brexit would see production severely disrupted. Hard Brexit, it said, would lead to slowdowns in the flow of parts and discontinued airworthiness. <br/>
