European manufacturer Airbus has confirmed that it is to cease operations of its oversized cargo company, Airbus Beluga Transport (AiBT), a year after it obtained its Air Operator Certificate (AOC).  

The announcement, made during an extraordinary Social and Economic Committee (CSE) meeting, marks the immediate end of the service due to a lack of external customers, as initially reported by French outlet Les Echos

“We confirm that the activity of Airbus Beluga Transport for oversized cargo missions is ending,” an Airbus spokesperson confirmed to AFP.
