Airbus announced the broad outlines of the revamp last month, restoring dedicated leadership of its main business for the first time in four years as it steps up jet production and freeing overall CEO Guillaume Faury to focus on strategy, amid concerns over key defence and space projects. In a carefully nuanced structure, the people occupying the two main operational roles - Programmes, which remain under Philippe Mhun, and Operations - will both report to Scherer and sit on the main executive committee under Faury. Airbus confirmed it was not re-creating a new commercial divisional structure to mirror the reorganisation of top jobs. Instead, Scherer will run the commercial business as CEO of that activity and on paper this will remain in the same bucket as the Airbus parent entity, which will remain under Faury's overall control. Airbus merged its parent and main commercial division in 2017, with the defence and helicopter divisions sitting underneath.
