AIRBUS SE put the head of its helicopters unit in line to replace chief executive officer Tom Enders after a wide-ranging management shake-up, as the European planemaker seeks to move past corruption allegations and inject fresh blood into its leadership ranks.
Mr Enders planned to step down when his term ends in April 2019, the Toulouse, France-based company said on Friday in a statement. His No 2, chief operating officer Fabrice Bregier will leave in February after missing out on the CEO job.
