European planemaker Airbus has decided to freeze hiring world-wide "until further notice", French daily La Tribune reported on Monday. Its new president Christian Streiff is currently reviewing all the group's programmes and will take decisions in October, the paper said.
"This is not abnormal when a new manager comes aboard," La Tribune cited an Airbus spokeswoman as saying. Airbus currently employs 57,000 people. Streiff became president and chief executive officer of Airbus in July, succeeding Gustav Humbert.
This was after Humbert and former EADS co-Chief Executive Noel Forgeard quit their jobs following delivery delays for the Airbus A380 superjumbo jet. Officials at Airbus were not immediately available for comment.
