Airbus appoints Peters as their new CEO

In a significant move, Airbus, the global aerospace manufacturer, has announced a change in leadership. As of April 1, Sebastian Peters will take over as the Chairman of Airbus Operations, replacing Gerd Weber who is stepping down from the role but will continue to work within the Airbus group in other tasks.

Sebastian Peters, who joined Airbus in 2019, has been appointed to oversee the entire production process of the A320 family. This includes managing the global final assembly lines for the A320 program, a family of short-medium range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners.

Peters' extensive experience within Airbus has prepared him well for this role. Before his new appointment, he headed global logistics for the company. His most notable new responsibility will be heading the Value Stream Management (VSM) for the A320 program, a role that oversees the entire production process of the A320 family.

The Value Stream Management (VSM) is a crucial part of Airbus' operations, ensuring efficiency and smooth production throughout the entire lifecycle of the A320 family.

Airbus Operations, the management board of the company, made the announcement official, welcoming Sebastian Peters to his new role. Gerd Weber, in his departure, will continue to contribute to the group in other capacities.

The exact details of who led Sebastian Peters within Airbus before his new appointment are not currently available in the search results. However, it is clear that Peters' experience and dedication to the company have made him a valuable asset, ready to lead Airbus Operations into the future.
