Airbus Announces Workforce Reduction in Space and Defence Sector

Airbus has recently declared its intention to reduce its workforce by up to 2,500 positions in its space and defence sector by the middle of 2026. This decision has been influenced by a decline in satellite demand and economic difficulties faced by the division. The company is committed to handling these job cuts through negotiations with trade unions and aims to prevent forced layoffs by employing all possible social measures. This move is a response to the need for adaptation in the face of a swiftly evolving and demanding aerospace market.
