AIRBUS has replaced the head of the A380 programme in another move designed to calm clients involved with the troubled project. Charles Champion”s move comes just two months after a crisis over production delays led to the resignation of the company's chief executive and the co-head of parent EADS. Airbus said Champion had been replaced by Mario Heinen, who was in charge of the A320-family jets. Champion will continue as an advisor to the company. The change came as hundreds of employees took part in test flights from Toulouse.
