Airbus instructs staff to reduce non-essential spending by 10% as the company faces instability linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to documents cited by outlets including Middle East Eye and Al-Monitor. The internal message, seen by AFP in both reports, says the company is adopting cost-containment measures to help it navigate the “unstable situation.” Airbus targets activities and costs that are not strictly essential to its industrial activities and operations, including “pausing all activities and costs” that fall outside core industrial work. The memo also directs teams not to take on new expenses or to engage in subcontracting activities that are not strictly essential. It further lists categories of items the company wants curtailed, such as team events and “team boosters,” corporate events, events for other stakeholders, and participation in conferences and events. The company states it aims to cut these costs by 10% compared with a 2025 baseline, as part of broader financial management in response to regional tensions.
