Airbus Pays £6.4 Million to Settle UK Export Control Investigation. Airbus has paid just over £6.4 million to settle a UK investigation into export control violations. The European aircraft manufacturer first disclosed the probe in 2024, involving several of its British business entities. Airbus said the agreement fully resolves the investigation, bringing the two-year regulatory matter to a close. The company voluntarily reported the issues and said it cooperated fully with authorities throughout the official review. People familiar with the case said the investigation focused on cross-border transfers involving A400M military aircraft components. The issue reportedly emerged during a 2022 audit that identified irregularities in export control compliance procedures. Airbus said it has already implemented comprehensive corrective measures to strengthen its export compliance systems going forward. The settlement follows a separate 2020 agreement with U.S. authorities over violations involving American military export regulations.
