~P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Airbus chief executive Fabrice Bregier has said the aircraft manufacturer will remain in the UK even if the country votes next year to leave the European Union.
Speaking to the BBC at the Paris Airshow, Bregier said Airbus had no plans to relocate its British factories.
He added Airbus had no plans to relocate its British factories. It employs 6,000 people at its site at Broughton in north Wales, where it assembles the wings for all Airbus aircraft, and several thousand people at Filton near Bristol.
Last month, Airbus UK’s chief executive Paul Kahn, said that if the UK left the EU, Airbus would reconsider future investment in the UK.
Bregier said yesterday he would have to make a judgement about what the consequences would be for the competitiveness of his business following the referendum, which now looks likely to take place next autumn.
