Airbus Supplier Tells Workers Quality Fixes Are Coming

Airbus SE supplier Sofitec Aero SL has told employees it is working on a joint plan with the planemaker to address panel-quality problems that have disrupted aircraft deliveries.

The Seville, Spain-based company told staff the plan would focus on “several specific aspects that need refining and that will help us improve,” according to a message seen by Bloomberg. “Airbus has informed us that we will have heavier workload starting in January, so we must continue expanding our capabilities,” Sofitec said in the message.
