PARIS (AP) — Airbus is urging stepped-up European cooperation to ensure the continent’s security and future access to space.

Airbus on Thursday reported a record overall 2022 profit of 4.25 billion euros. But it took a 118 million-euro loss in its Airbus Defence and Space business. CEO Guillaume Faury says Airbus faced inflation challenges and supply chain disruptions last year but is ramping up production this year to meet growing demand from airlines.
