Airbus planemaking boss says no direct impact from Boeing strike

PARIS, Oct 11 (Reuters) - The CEO of Airbus' planemaking arm said on Friday the European planemaker was monitoring the wider impact of a strike by Boeing workers, but had not yet seen a direct impact on the number of parts delivered by shared suppliers.

In a briefing to French aerospace media, Christian Scherer singled out an earlier issue with supplies of engines from CFM International and said these remained on the "critical path," adding: "I regret it, but it is the case". A spokesperson for the French-U.S. engine maker declined comment. (Reporting by Tim Hepher; Editing by Toby Chopra)
