Information here may be outdated?
Only seven years old news.
I couldn't give a toss either way. Whatever happens, happens and will continue to do so. Everything changes, but in reality it's just cosmetic.
Well it wont be your problem much longer will it, you clever little Brexiter, you!

Oh and what about Boeing always being the choice for government contracts in the US? Come on children all grow up, oh hang on Trump is involved, never mind I'll get the play doh out. Brian
It might be, I would think it will take a couple of years before they close the UK manufacturing. It depends on when they change the wing enough to need new tooling that they can install somewhere in the EU. Of course brexiteers will claim project fear as it didn't happen the day after brexit.
The ramp down will have started already. Broughton was continually being upgraded, I was involved for the last 15 years.
The smaller contractors will be hit pretty hard, the main contractors were based in Mainland Europe anyway.
You can buy a lot of tooling for the cost of a Beluga flight BTW.
At least the Brexit mob will be happy, all those new housing estates in Broughton will have properties on the market at knock down prices.
At least there's a nice new Aldi for those choosing whether to blow their worthless stirling on the mortgage arrears or noodles.

Ha! That'll give that german wanker who heads-up Airbus something to think about, which he badly needs it's clear. :-)
Airbus will leave the UK eventually regardless of Brexit. Always has been their desire. And the EU in line with their industrial policy would always encourage them and fund them to open up in eastern europe. However Boeing are opening up in Sheffield....
Here's already got enough to think about with the A380.
There was an interview with a woman who was asked about Airbus. She said it didn't bother her because she always used easyJet.
Not going to happen with engines alone.
Always has
That's a lie.
And the EU in line with their industrial policy would
They have never done that with any Airbus components.
Only in quite a minor way.
It most certainly is. The stupid idiots in the UK thought they were being clever sending idiots like Farage to speak for Britain. How the hell can they moan if all he did was swill beer and ensure EU cash went into his own pocket rather than benefit the poor cretins that voted him in.
