Airbus explores US space unit sale as Europe backs new competitor
Airbus is seeking to sell its space activities in the United States, including a factory in Florida and the Arrow satellite family, with the aim of shifting production towards Europe and establishing a unified European entity to compete with companies like SpaceX. It is also working to transfer part of satellite production from America to France to strengthen European sovereignty, especially through a proposed tripartite merger with Leonardo and Thales. These steps are part of Airbus's efforts to restructure its space business, which has faced financial difficulties, by focusing on building an independent European space industry and reducing dependence on the American market.
