Airbus CEO met with flight test crew and engineers.
Tom Enders, CEO of Airbus, visited yesterday the A400M Final Assembly Line at San Pablo in
Seville and met with engineers conducting the ground tests of the new A400M military airlifter,
as well as with some of the flight crew preparing the aircraft for its first flight.
During a visit that lasted the whole afternoon he briefed on the progress of the programme,
which is expected to have its first flight before the end of this year. During the meeting with the
employees, he expressed his full support and thanked all those involved for their continued
effort and consistent contribution to the success of the project.
Mr Enders went on board the first A400M aircraft while it was being prepared for further tests
and inspected the cockpit and test equipment. He said he was extremely impressed with the
work that was being done.
“We have a great team working extremely hard, thanks to which we have made tremendous
progress over the past months. The excitement grows every day as we get closer to the first
flight of this fantastic aircraft,” said Tom Enders during the visit of the facility.
Later, the CEO was witness of an initial engine test.
