Airbus brands UK govt handling of Brexit 'a disgrace'
Airbus has called the UK govt’s handling of Brexit a “disgrace” and warned the aerospace firm could pull out of the UK if the country crashes out of the EU without a deal. CE Tom Enders said Thursday that if there was a no-deal Brexit, Airbus would have to make “potentially very harmful decisions for the UK”. The aerospace group is one of the biggest manufacturers in the UK, where it employs more than 14,000 people. A further 110,000 supply-chain jobs depend on its operations, which have an annual turnover of GBP6bb. Enders said: “Of course it’s not possible to pick up and move our large UK factories to other parts of the world immediately. However, aerospace is a long-term business and we could be forced to redirect future investments in the event of a no-deal Brexit". <br/>
