Airbus Defence and Space is announcing plans to adapt the Division’s organisation and workforce in light of a continued complex business environment, especially in the Space Systems segment where significant financial charges were recorded in 2023 and 2024. Intended measures will include creating a more effective and efficient organisational structure for the Division, especially with regard to headquartered functions, as well as a full operative end-to-end accountability for its business lines Air Power, Space Systems and Connected Intelligence. It is expected that these measures will result in a reduction of up to 2,500 positions within Airbus Defence and Space until mid 2026.

The industry has engaged with its social partners regarding the proposed adaptation. The information and consultation process will follow in due course.

Details of this plan will be specified together with the Company’s social partners. Compulsory actions are not planned, Airbus will work with its social partners to limit the impact by relying on all available social measures.
