Airbus burde kunne bære krisen takket være de producerede flys kvalitet. I virkeligheden drejer det sig om at forfølge et eneste mål, nemlig at fremme det europæiske Airbus-projekt som et projekt, der skaber beskæftigelse og innovation, globalt opleves som topkvalitet og er skabt af europæere.
Airbus has orders for 2 589 aircraft on its books, so it has a full work programme for many years to come, and the quality of the aircraft it builds ought to see it through this crisis, but, in fact, there is only one thing to aim for: the promotion of Airbus as a European project creating jobs, achieving innovation and excellence in the eyes of the whole world and built by the men and women of Europe.
