Brexit: 'Dangerous phase' for Airbus over free movement

"We are entering a dangerous phase" if Airbus cannot seamlessly move people and products around the European Union, a senior executive has warned.

Chief operating officer Tom Williams told MPs that Washington would be "delighted" if that happened.

Airbus employs 6,000 people at its wings plant at Broughton, Flintshire.
