Shutterstock photo(RTTNews.com) - Airbus (EADSF.PK, EADSY.PK) chief executive officer Tom Enders reportedly said he would be prepared to step down if he was "no longer part of the solution", as the firm deals with ongoing corruption probes.
The aircraft maker is under investigation in the UK and France into its use of middlemen in plane sales.
Mr Enders reportedly said he saw no reason to resign, but added he would be ready to do so if needed.
The UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and later its French counterpart opened investigations into Airbus after the firm reported itself in 2016.
In an interview with German newspaper Handelsblatt, Mr Enders said: "You can be assured: once I am no longer part of the solution, and I hope I would realise myself when that is, I will draw the consequences [and step down].
"But for now, I don't think we're at this point," he added, according to a pre-released version of the paper's Monday edition.
The SFO opened an investigation in August 2016 into allegations of "fraud, bribery and corruption" in the civil aviation business of Airbus.
Airbus also faces an investigation in Austria over a 2 billion euros deal struck more than a decade ago for its Eurofighter jet.
