Airbus SE said Thursday that it will reduce production at its
airplane wing plants in the U.K. and Germany for the next three
weeks.
The European plane maker said its Filton and Broughton wing
plants in the U.K. will have an extended Easter holiday, while the
working week will be reduced at its Bremen plant in Germany. While
production will be cut, the sites will stay open during the
three-week period, Airbus said.
The decision was made after reviewing stock levels built up in
the recent period and the demand from Airbus's final assembly
lines, the company said.
Airbus's production in France and Spain partially resumed on
Monday after a four-day pause due to the coronavirus, while
operations in the U.K., Germany and the U.S. have been continuing
at normal rates.
