Airbus Slashing 2,000 Jobs, Space Systems Business Mostly Impacted

What’s going on at Airbus?

Airbus is eliminating more than 2,000 jobs in Defence and Space, or approximately five per cent of its second-largest division.

According to news outlets, including Reuters, more than half of the 2,043 positions being cut will affect the company’s Space Systems business following heavy losses on satellites.

The workforce reduction is expected to be implemented by mid-2026—focusing mainly on white-collar and management positions, rather than operational ones.
