EUROPEAN aerospace company EADS, soon to be renamed Airbus after its better-known offspring, will mount a fresh push for aviation business for its Australian subsidiary, chief executive Tom Enders says.
Mr Enders, in Australia to present the Sir Reginald Ansett Memorial Lecture at the Safeskies aviation conference in Canberra this week, said EADS defence business in Australia started at zero 12 years ago.
Then it won three big contracts, for new transport and reconnaissance helicopters through its subsidiary Australian Aerospace, and for tanker aircraft through Airbus Military in Spain.
