The decision by Vueling to replace its Airbus fleet with U.S.-made Boeing 737s is a direct threat to Europe’s economic and industrial sovereignty. Airbus is not just a leader in aviation—it is a cornerstone of European excellence, supporting over 130,000 jobs and a vast network of suppliers across the continent. Every Airbus aircraft purchased injects millions into Europe’s economy, strengthens local industries, and secures our technological independence.

Choosing Airbus also means prioritizing safety, fuel efficiency, and sustainability—values that align with Europe’s commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. Vueling, as a key European airline, must uphold these principles by continuing to invest in Airbus. This is not just about aircraft; it’s about safeguarding Europe’s future, its jobs, and its leadership in global aviation.

We urge Vueling to reverse this decision and reaffirm its commitment to Airbus. Europe’s economy, its workers, and its strategic autonomy depend on it.
