PARIS -- European aircraft manufacturer Airbus SAS said Wednesday
it still expects to receive government launch aid for its new A350
jet, a day after the EU and United States agreed to reopen
negotiations on eliminating aircraft subsidies, averting a looming
trade war.
Noel Forgeard, chief executive of the European aircraft maker,
commented during a Paris news conference at which Airbus also said it
outsold archrival Boeing Co. in 2004 and expects to do so for a third
straight year in 2005.
"The basis of the agreement is not that there will be no support,"
Forgeard said.
