EADS Posts $1 Billion Loss and Talks of More Job Cuts
Keywords:
Tags:
Every appreciation of the euro by 10 cents costs Airbus 1 billion euros in lost profits. Airbus sells its planes in dollars, yet it incurs half of its costs in euros. During the last year the euros has appreciated against the dollar from $1.46 to about $1.35. Gallois, CEO of EADS (the parent company of Airbus), compares the currency swings to a sword of Damocles hanging over the company. Airbus response will be to find 1 billion euros of savings by 2010 in addition to cost cuts planned earlier. Airbus under Enders will look to aggressive currency hedging, renegotiating supplier contracts and cutting more jobs. Cost overruns of the A400M military transport plane of 1.4 billion euros are affecting EADS financial results, with loss of 776 million euros in the 3rd quarter of 2007.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
