Airbus Details Franco-German Fighter Deal With U.K. Role at Risk

Airbus SE Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders sketched out the company’s plans for the next generation of European fighter aircraft and warned that Brexit means the U.K. could miss out on future production. Airbus’s German operation is working with French warplane specialist Dassault Aviation SA on a fighter platform involving a range of aerial products, including drones and “swarms” of small aircraft, Enders said in an interview. “We’re not talking about ‘a’ military aircraft,” he said in Berlin Tuesday.
