“With the euro crisis in full swing, the European EADS group has surprised us by turning a profit,” announces the business daily.
In particular, the Airbus civil aviation branch accounted for two-thirds of the €56.5bn of the consortium’s sales in 2012. Between now and 2020, the company has orders worth €566.5bn.
The only potential issue in the performance posted by group CEO Tom Enders, notes the newspaper, is that this success has mainly been fuelled by sales of the medium-range A320. However, the long-range A350, which competes with Boeing’s Dreamliner, is the aircraft that will determine the future of the group.
