“This report is incorrect. The EADS 2020 Vision envisages up to 20 per cent of Airbus work could be subcontracted globally by 2020 but this is not new,” Airbus spokesman Justin Dubon told Reuters.
Airbus currently employs 130 people in an engineering centre and training facility in Bangalore, with plans to increase this to 400 staff.
