    French Airbus Package Not Called Bailout

    ven though France is putting $6.5 billion euros into banks with the sole intent of financing Airbus purchases, this plan is not being called a bailout.

    Airbus is owned by the European aerospace group. In fact, the French state owns 15% of EADS. At the same time, EADS is cutting 10,000 jobs because of cost over-runs to the A380 super-jumbo project.

    This is the first time that the French government has directed this much funding into the aviation/aeronautics industry, apparently a diversionary tactic to allay damage to their hard-hit automobile/tourism industry. This funding is in addition to a prior pledge of smaller scale assistance to aeronautical suppliers and researchers.

    Expect protests from Boeing over the controversial nature of state aid.
