BERLIN - Airbus is considering suing the German government as its freeze on arms exports to Saudi Arabia means the company is unable to complete a border security system for the Gulf state, two people familiar with the matter said.
In October, Germany decided to reject future arms exports licenses to Saudi Arabia over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and to freeze deliveries of already approved equipment - a move that infuriated allies and defense companies. “We are looking at an action for failure to act,” said one source familiar with the matter, speaking on Sunday on condition of anonymity. “We want to force the federal government to decide now.”The German government has said it could not comment on any potential corporate compensation claims as a result of the Saudi arms export ban until any materialize.In late March, Germany extended the ban on arms exports to Saudi Arabia until the end of September, with a few exceptions.
