Airbus has postponed its plan to reduce remote working after strikes by Spanish unions, Reuters reports. The aerospace manufacturer will allow employees to continue working from home an average of two days per week, shelving indefinitely a push to limit remote work to one day. Chief Executive Guillaume Faury had sought to require white-collar staff on-site four days weekly by September, citing the need for knowledge transfer. Spanish unions said roughly 40% of Airbus's 14,000 Spanish employees have walked out over remote work policies, transport, leave and wages. An Airbus spokesperson said the company would implement the transition "more gradually" based on employee feedback. French unions estimate a quarter to a third of Airbus's workforce has been hired in the past three years. Aircraft production has not been affected by the disruptions.
The European Investment Bank's €3 billion loan to Airbus has sparked a dispute between Boeing and the EU. Boeing has asked the US government to challenge the loan package, which will fund aircraft research and development through 2030. The first tranche of €1 billion has already been signed. Boeing claims the loan — the EIB's largest ever corporate financing — may violate a 2021 truce agreement between the rivals. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said his office is examining the loan and has raised concerns with EU officials. The EIB and Airbus both maintain the loan operates on standard market terms. Airbus CFO Thomas Toepfer stated the financing was secured completely on market conditions.
Airbus reported second-quarter revenue of €20.5 billion, up 28% year-on-year, with adjusted EBIT climbing 54% to €2.43 billion. Net income rose 126% to €1.66 billion. The commercial aircraft division saw revenue increase 37% to €15.4 billion, whilst reported EBIT surged 150% to €1.95 billion. Airbus Defence and Space revenue grew 10% to €3.48 billion, with reported EBIT more than doubling to €408 million. Chief executive Guillaume Faury said strong deliveries reflected steady execution as the company ramps up production. Airbus maintained its forecast of approximately 870 commercial aircraft deliveries for 2026. The Toulouse-based manufacturer delivered 351 aircraft in the first half, having faced engine supply constraints and parts shortages earlier in the year.
Airbus reported first-half revenue of €33.2 billion, up 12% year-on-year, driven by a rebound in commercial aircraft deliveries. Second-quarter adjusted EBIT rose 54% to €2.43 billion, beating analyst expectations of €2.19 billion. Net profit more than doubled to €1.66 billion from €732 million. The company delivered 351 commercial aircraft in the first six months, up from 306 in H1 2025. Its defence and space segment posted an 84% increase in adjusted EBIT to €487 million. Airbus maintained its full-year guidance of around 870 aircraft deliveries and adjusted EBIT of approximately €7.5 billion. The strong second quarter marks a turnaround after first-quarter profit fell 52% amid supply constraints from engine maker Pratt & Whitney.
