A350WXB Launch On Hold Says Les Echos

Reports are that the meeting of the EADS Board of Directors that was going to approve the launch of the A350WXB has been cancelled. According to Les Echos by way of Flight International, there is serious disagreement over how to fund the project in a manner that won't exacerbate the already simmering trade dispute with the US over subsidies, which is before the WTO.

This doesn't sound good. Stay tuned.
