Link Securities | Airbus (AIR) Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury warned his staff that the aircraft manufacturer must be prepared to adapt to new risks. The Airbus CEO faced significant logistical and financial damage from US protectionism and trade tensions between the United States and China last year, according to the newspaper Expansión.

The start of 2026 is marked by an unprecedented number of crises and disturbing geopolitical events, Faury said in an internal letter seen by Reuters.
