Airbus SE is extending furlough programs for 5,300 employees in the U.K. and Spain to give the European planemaker more time to consider permanent job cuts.
About 2,200 workers at Airbus’s wing plant in the Welsh city of Broughton will go on leave for three weeks from July 20, according to a company spokesperson. That’s after the last staff from an earlier wave are due back on July 1.
