Airbus has announced the appointment of Serge Durand as head of the company’s operations in Romania. In this role, he will represent Airbus in front of authorities and partners, will identify and follow the implementation of new development opportunities, will lead the country strategy planning process and will coordinate the company’s activities in Romania, focusing on increasing presence on the local market.

“I am honored by this role in Romania, a country we’ve been cooperating with for almost half a century. I am certain that we will grow our ambitions and become more competitive.
