Three of Airbus’s major shareholders are the French, Spanish and German governments, all of which have publicly condemned the Feb.1, 2021 coup in Myanmar as well as the war crimes that followed it.

“While these governments have publicly condemned the Myanmar military’s crimes and committed to stopping arms flows, they appear to be, at least, silent regarding Airbus’s continued collaboration with AVIC behind the scenes,” the report says.

Yadanar Maung, a spokesperson for Justice for Myanmar said: “Airbus has been turning a blind eye to AVIC’s dirty deals with the brutal Myanmar military for too long.”

“With ongoing credible documentation and reporting at the UN of the human rights crisis in Myanmar, Airbus must have known that its key business partner AVIC is supplying aircraft, weapons and ongoing technical maintenance services to the junta in Myanmar,” she added.

Johanna Chardonnieras, coordinator for Info Birmanie, called for the European states that have stakes in Airbus to take action: “The French, Spanish and German governments have a responsibility and a duty to act when Airbus’ partner and investee is linked [to] war crimes.”
