Airbus warns investment at risk if UK leaves EU

[xxMATTGxx]

Of course the EU loves Airbus, look at their operations and where they build the airplanes. It all makes sense and yes we need them to stay in the UK.

And why would Britain not being in the EU affect this? What makes sense Matt? Does it not occur to you that a large company like Airbus might actually have vested interests given the EU was illegally shovelling taxpayers money into the company until the World Trade Organisation put a halt to it?

My uncle works for Airbus too so it's not like I don't have a vested interest here.

CEO Fabrice Brégier said 13/6/14 90% Airbus sales outside Europe. UK vote to leave not a reason to quit UK and duplicate 10,000 skilled jobs

And...

Tom Williams, Airbus UK Chief Executive and Head of Programmes said in 2014: "Clearly we have a massive investment in the UK and I don’t think there has ever been a plan to change that. The key issue is for the UK to continue to be a competitive place to do business.'

"Profitable trade and political union are not joined at the hip. Russian and American companies trade with companies in Europe without being part of a political union. Business investment depends on profits not politics."

As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with Airbus sales and entirely to do with the production of aircraft.
