Airbus CEO Christian Streiff Resigns....
-
EADS Board of Directors changes significantly the management structure of EADS
9 October 2006
EADS has announced the resignation of Christian Streiff as Airbus Chief Executive Officer and member of the EADS Executive Committee with immediate effect on Monday.
The EADS Board of Directors has appointed EADS Co-CEO Louis Gallois as Airbus CEO with immediate effect. Louis Gallois will remain Co-CEO of EADS.
The non-Airbus divisions will report to EADS Co-CEO Tom Enders in the future.
The Board of Directors once more underlined its unanimous support for the Power8 programme as decided on 3 October, 2006 as well as for the immediate implementation of the A380 recovery plan. It will take its decision on the A350 XWB in the next weeks.
The new management structure will allow, on the one hand, a leaner, more efficient corporate governance and, on the other hand, additional cost savings within the EADS group.

Why lydat? Airbus crisis........
-
Looks like SIA will never be getting their 380, and neither will the others.
-
cannot churn out A380, big crisis...
-
500km of wiring u know? That's Tuas to Pasir Ris ten times over. Very very the long.
-
In such a rush to churn out airplanes, there will be many air-crashes... teething problems to iron along the way... just like Boeing's planes...
-
Steiff is already the 3rd CEO sacked. Does a change really help? It all boils down to the technical know-how of the wiring at the end of the day.
Has anyone seen magazine pictures of the A380? It's GIGANTIC....looks almost twice the size of a 747. This is something unprecedented and Airbus is certainly stepping into uncharted waters.
Good luck EADS!

I have a model of two of them, and they don't really look much different in length, but, the horizontal stabiliser is considerably taller in the A380.
Sad that the CEO is sacrificed in this very troubled time. -
U mean the vertical stabiliser? Yeh, it looks like it's stretching to the heavens. The whole plane looks like a freaking fat goldfish waiting to fly.
