“Acquiring Salzburg München Bank provides us with a good platform to launch our company bank project,” said Airbus Group CFO Harald Wilhelm in a statement. “In the coming years the whole Group can benefit through increased financing flexibility.”
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval, and Airbus hopes to complete the transaction “as early as possible.”
