A-300b Chief Hints U.k. Role Still Open
Toulouse—European A-300B Airbus project, now involving France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Spain and the U.S., is running ahead of schedule and on budget, Henri Ziegler, chief executive of Airbus Industrie, said here recently. Ziegler, who is president of France’s Aerospatiale, while noting that the U.K. is in the program in a subcontractor role in which Hawker Siddeley Aviation designed the wings as a private venture, hinted that the option for the U.K. government to re-enter the program is being held open.
