Airbus halting French and Spanish production for 4 days
Airbus is to halt production across its French and Spanish facilities for four days to give the company time to implement strict hygiene measures in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The airframer says the decision follows introduction of new procedures in both countries intended to contain the illness. Airbus says it will “temporarily pause” production and assembly at sites in France and Spain for the next 4 days, and work with social partners to bring in the changes. “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,” it adds. The airframer is aiming to maximise home-working where feasible. <br/>
