FILE - In this Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021 file photo, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen speaks during a media conference in Brussels. After U.S. President Joe Biden and EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen spoke, both sides decided to suspend tariffs used in the longstanding Airbus-Boeing dispute for the next four months. Von der Leyen called it “a very positive signal for our economic cooperation in the years to come.”Ad"This is excellent news for businesses and industries on both sides of the Atlantic,” she said. In the aircraft dispute, the U.S. was allowed to impose tariffs on $7.5 billion of EU exports to the U.S and as a result of the deal, EU tariffs will be suspended on $4 billion of U.S. exports. The move came only a few weeks after international arbitrators gave the EU the green light for such punitive action.

European plane maker Airbus lost 1.1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) amid an unprecedented global slump in air travel because of the pandemic, but expects to deliver hundreds of planes and make a profit this year. (AP Photo/ Francois Mori, File)PARIS – European plane maker Airbus lost 1.1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) last year amid an unprecedented global slump in air travel because of the pandemic, but expects to deliver hundreds of planes and make a profit in 2021 despite uncertainty about when people will resume flying en masse. The dispute has led to billions of dollars in tit-for-tat cross-Atlantic tariffs on planes, cheese, wine, video games and other products. Airbus sales were down to 49.9 billion euros from 70 billion euros the year before. Airbus delivered 566 aircraft last year and expects to deliver about the same number this year, the company said.

(NASA via AP)CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Spacewalking astronauts encountered cable trouble Wednesday while attempting to make improvements to the International Space Station’s European lab. Elsewhere on the lab, Glover could not hook up all the power and data cables on a science research platform that's been awaiting activation for almost a year. Hopkins and Glover will perform a second spacewalk on Monday to complete battery upgrades to the station’s solar power grid.

EU trade ministers were discussing the move on a videoconference, after international arbitrators last month gave the EU, the world’s biggest trade bloc, the green light to do so. But having repeatedly failed to achieve a negotiated solution, the EU is now ready to announce punishment of its own. “The U.S. has imposed their tariffs following the WTO ruling in (the) Airbus case. Now we have a WTO ruling also in Boeing, allowing us to impose our tariffs, and that’s what we are doing,” EU Commission Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis told reporters. Just before the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury told The Associated Press that his company is “very happy” with the WTO ruling.

PARIS – Struggling plane maker Airbus says new European virus lockdown measures are making its life “a bit more difficult,” as it announced 1 billion euros ($1.16 billion) in pandemic-related losses for the third quarter Thursday amid a slower-than-expected recovery in air travel. “We will have to live with the circulation of the virus for long period of time,” he said. It maintained its forecast that air traffic won’t return to 2019 levels until 2023-2025. Faury said the company — one of Europe's leading manufacturers — isn’t currently planning further job losses on top of 15,000 already announced as a result of the pandemic, but said, “there is so much uncertainty we have to remain very humble.”And he expressed concern about struggling Airbus suppliers. Airbus announced 1 billion euros in “COVID-related charges” and posted a loss of 767 million euros for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 989 million euros a year earlier.

GENEVA – International arbitrators said Tuesday that the European Union can impose tariffs and other penalties on up to $4 billion worth of U.S. goods and services over illegal American support for plane maker Boeing. It comes a year after another ruling authorized the United States to slap penalties on EU goods worth up to $7.5 billion - including Gouda cheese, single-malt whiskey and French wine - over the bloc's support for Boeing rival Airbus. Now the EU can have its own turn at trade punishment, and has already been considering which American products it could target. The U.S. argues that those tax breaks ended this year, eliminating any basis for the award. The WTO arbitrators said that the lifting of the tax breaks was not enough to prevent the award in favor of the EU.

European planemaker Airbus says it is taking the last step to end 16 years of litigation with the United States at the World Trade Organization over subsidies. The Trump administration used the case as justification to slap tariffs on $7.5 billion worth of European exports. The U.S. tariffs covered not only Airbus planes but also a range of typical European exports, from gouda cheese to single-malt whiskey. Airbus said Friday that it had agreed to make changes to this system of financial support. After 16 years of litigation at the World Trade Organisation, this is the final step to stop the long-standing dispute and removes any justification for U.S. tariffs, the company said.

France's government has announced 15 billion euros ($16.9 billion) in aid for the virus-battered aerospace industry, including plane maker Airbus and national airline Air France. (AP Photo/ Francois Mori, File)PARIS Frances government announced 15 billion euros ($16.9 billion) in rescue money on Tuesday for the pandemic-battered aerospace industry, including plane maker Airbus and national airline Air France. It also includes a special fund jointly financed by the government, Airbus and other big manufacturers to support small suppliers. It includes 7 billion euros in loans and loan guarantees that the government had already promised to Air France, whose planes were almost entirely grounded by the virus. The government predicted it will be 2023 before the industry reaches pre-crisis levels.

The United States had also threatened to target pasta and leather handbags in a long-running dispute with the European Union over aircraft subsidies. European Commission spokesperson Daniel Rosario said Thursday that the European Union regretted the US decision, adding that the bloc would respond with similar measures. The United States on Wednesday published an extensive list of goods to be targeted, which also includes yogurt, olives, butter and sweet biscuits. The United States is the most lucrative export market for EU wines and vice versa, according to the European Committee of Wine Companies (CEEV). The United States has already imposed tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports.

If the United States goes ahead with the tariffs, as seems likely, Europe will retaliate. "Our readiness to find a fair settlement remains unchanged," EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrm said in a statement. Airbus reiterated calls for talks, saying tariffs would be a "barrier against free trade" and negatively affect airlines, travelers and jobs in the United States. The EU retaliated with tariffs on more than $3 billion worth of American exports in June. In 2018, the European Union exported 407 billion ($445 billion) worth of goods to the United States.

Created as part of a collaboration between Lufthansa, traveler loyalty program Miles & More GmbH and Lufthansa Technik, the Lufthansa Upcycling Collection is made from parts of the plane, which was withdrawn after 10 years of service. "The special thing about the Lufthansa Upcycling Collection is that something of the aircraft's spirit can be preserved," says Sebastian Riedle, spokesperson and managing director of Miles & More GmbH. It took nearly 10 weeks to dismantle the 75-meter-long airplane into pieces small enough to create the Lufthansa Upcycling Collection. Repurposing aircraft parts as quality goods is getting increasingly popular as the airline industry moves towards becoming more eco-friendly. Airbus released a line of furniture and home accessories made from upcycled aircraft parts via online shop A Piece of Sky earlier this year.

A working prototype of the ExoMars rover at the Airbus Defense Space facility on Feb. 7, 2019, in Stevenage, England. (CNN) - What's the first stop for a rover destined to search for signs of life on the Red Planet? Europe's first planetary rover, dubbed "Rosalind Franklin," has now been built and taken its next step towards space travel. The rover has a clear mission: to find out if there is life on Mars. Mars' surface is believed to be very radioactive, meaning life is unlikely to be found on the surface.

Now a high-tech camera could solve the age-old question: is there -- or has there ever been -- life on Mars? But the "scientific cameras" have now been installed, which will help the mission determine whether there is any capacity for life on the Martian surface. The Panoramic Camera (PanCam) will be the only UK-made instrument on the rover, according to Airbus. Mars' surface is also believed to be very radioactive. Even if the rover and PanCam can't reveal life on Mars, the UCL team can't wait to reach the planet.

Airbus has developed a small-scale aircraft with flapping wing tips -- a concept drawn from the flight of the albatross. European manufacturer Airbus has developed a small-scale aircraft with flapping wing tips -- a concept drawn from the flight of the albatross. Airbus' newest addition the "AlbatrossOne", a model based on the A321, is constructed from carbon-fiber and glass-fiber-reinforced polymers and has "semi-aeroelastic" hinged wing-tips. The freely flapping wingtips react and flex to wind gusts, reducing drag and combating the effects of turbulence. In July, Airbus unveiled the "Bird of Prey" -- a concept aircraft inspired by the natural features of eagles, hawks and other aerial predators.

(CNN) - European manufacturer Airbus has created a concept aircraft inspired by the natural features of eagles, hawks and other aerial predators. The "Bird of Prey" concept was unveiled by Liam Fox, UK Secretary of State for International Trade, at the Royal International Air Tattoo air show on Friday. Fox tweeted his support for the project alongside a video of the "Bird of Prey," which has a set of feathers on the tail and each wingtip. "Inspired by efficient mechanics of a bird, it has wing and tail structures that mimic those of a bird of prey, while featuring individually controlled feathers that provide active flight control," the statement reads. Airbus has also been involved in developing new aircraft seat designs.

The move is another blow to Boeing, which has struggled to regain trust after its 737 Max jets were involved in two fatal crashes. Flyadeal said the deal was struck between its parent company, Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation, and Airbus during the Paris Air Show in June. "This order will result in flyadeal operating an all- Airbus A320 fleet in the future," the statement continued. In December, Boeing and flyadeal announced that the Saudi airliner had committed to buying between 30 to 50 737 Max jets in a deal that could be worth up to $5.9 billion at list price. Earlier this year, Indonesian airline Garuda canceled a multibillion-dollar order for 737 Max 8 jets.
