Airbus Group to demand compensation from Polish government

The head of Airbus Group announced that his company will demand compensation for the failed Caracal helicopter deal, according to TVN24, citing AFP. “We have never been treated by a government client the way we were treated by this government,” Airbus Director General Tom Enders stated. On Tuesday, Airbus Helicopters also published an open letter to the Polish government, which declared that the talks were broken off by the Ministry of Development.

“Airbus really wanted to invest in Poland, and we wanted to contribute to the creation of a competitive aerospace industry in this country. However, the Polish government slammed the door in our faces,” Enders said.

In its open letter to the Polish government, the French company stated: “Airbus Helicopters is disappointed by the decision of the Ministry of Development and would like to honestly inform about the content of its offset offer.” Airbus denies information “spread by the media, that it conducted the negotiations in bad faith.”
