Hamburg

AIRBUS's long-serving sales chief John Leahy plans to stay on until a successor is found, with a decision expected within the next week or so, he told Reuters on Friday.

Reuters reported on Thursday that Airbus had embarked on a fresh search for a sales chief and that Mr Leahy's deputy, Kiran Rao, had confirmed he would not be running for the post after the company decided to look outside.
