The “temporary exemption” is intended to give Airbus time to find alternative sources of titanium for aircraft production, the sources said. Canadian officials have expressed hope that Airbus will eventually move away from Russian titanium and explore potential alternative suppliers in China, Japan and Kazakhstan.
The decision to grant such an exception caused mixed reactions. Some experts say sanctions against the company could have unintended consequences for Canada’s aviation industry.
It’s unclear how long this “temporary exception” will last and how Airbus will respond to pressure to find alternative sources of titanium.
