New CEO Appointed at Airbus Operations

In a significant move, Airbus Operations has announced that Sebastian Peters will be taking over as its new CEO, effective from April 1st. The 47-year-old executive joined Airbus in 2019 and brings with him extensive experience in logistics, having previously headed this department at the company.

Peters will be replacing Gerd Weber, who is stepping down from his role as CEO to take on new responsibilities within the company. Weber, who has been with Airbus for many years, will continue to work within the organisation.

As the new CEO, Peters will be responsible for the global final assembly lines for the A320 program at Airbus Operations. The A320 family is the primary production focus of the "Value Stream Management" (VSM) under Peters' leadership. The VSM is a crucial aspect of Airbus Operations' production process, overseeing the entire production of the A320 family.

Prior to his new role, Peters had been leading the "Value Stream Management" (VSM) at Airbus Operations. His predecessor as CEO of Airbus Operations before Peters' appointment on April 1 was Michael Schoellhorn.

Airbus Operations is where Peters will be serving as the new CEO. The company is a key player in the aviation industry, with a focus on the production and assembly of aircraft. The A320 family, in particular, is a significant part of their production portfolio.

With Peters at the helm, Airbus Operations is poised to continue its growth and innovation in the aviation industry. Weber's continued presence within the company ensures a smooth transition and a wealth of knowledge to draw upon. The changes at Airbus Operations promise to bring about exciting times for the company and the industry as a whole.
