The Airbus Group has made yet another provision for losses on the A400M airlifter program. After announcing a €551 million charge in the fourth quarter of last year, an additional €290 million net charge was taken in the second quarter of 2015. Airbus said that the accident on 9 May “caused setbacks on qualifying enhanced military capability and the schedule of planned deliveries.”
