Airbus Pauses Production Temporarily in France and Spain
European OEM Airbus says it needs to implement measures to protect employees, while also assessing the overall virus crisis.

Airbus said on Tuesday that it has “decided to pause production and assembly activities” for the next four days at its production plants in France and Spain as it implements measures to protect workers while it assesses the wider COVID-19 coronavirus situation, which has brought much of Europe to a standstill. It said “assessments are ongoing” relating to other manufacturing sites.
