Airbus plans to eliminate 2,043 jobs in its Defence and Space division, representing about 5% of its workforce.Over half of the job cuts, 1,128 positions, will occur in the Space Systems business, which has been affected by challenges in the satellite market.The reductions primarily target white-collar and management roles and aim to lower overheads and fixed costs.The layoffs are part of Airbus' efforts to adapt to evolving market conditions and increasing competition from US companies in the satellite sector.
