Ukraine conflict: Airbus, ExxonMobil and Boeing take action over Russia ties

Airbus has joined rival planemaker Boeing and oil giant ExxonMobil on a growing list of corporate giants cutting ties with Russia.

The European manufacturer said it had stopped support and supply of spare parts for Russia's aviation industry.

Earlier, Boeing suspended operations and ExxonMobil said it would end a multi-billion dollar joint venture with Russian state-owned company Rosneft.

Firms are exiting Russia after the West imposed sanctions over Ukraine.

Airbus said on Wednesday: "In line with international sanctions now in place, Airbus has suspended support services to Russian airlines, as well as the supply of spare part to the country.

"Services provided by the Airbus Engineering Centre in Russia (ECAR) have also been suspended pending further review."

US aviation giant Boeing said it had suspended "major operations" in Moscow and temporarily closed its office in Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

"We are also suspending parts, maintenance and technical support services for Russian airlines," a Boeing spokesperson told the BBC.

Bring them back to a pre-industrial society until the soviets leave. Then, we'll help them re-build a free democratic society as we did in Germany.

getting out as they were getting deep in bed with Russia regarding oil exploration & production ventures.

It thus seems they may now be developing something of a corporate conscience considering their past strenuous attempts to thwart climate change initiatives.
