Airbus Plans Leaving Google Cloud
This decision coincides with Google facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States over alleged privacy breaches tied to its AI assistant, Gemini. The complaint asserts that the tool was secretly activated across Gmail, Chat, and Meet in October, granting Google access to emails, attachments, and video calls without user approval, according to a media outlet. Google has rejected these claims.
Airbus is preparing to issue a major contract to shift mission-critical workloads to a sovereign European cloud. Currently reliant on Google Workspace, the company intends to migrate key on-premises systems after consolidating its data center operations.
The transition would encompass core functions such as production, business management, and aircraft design data. However, Airbus estimates only an 80% likelihood of finding a European provider capable of satisfying both technical and legal requirements.
“I need a sovereign cloud because part of the information is extremely sensitive from a national and European perspective,” explained Catherine Jestin, Airbus executive vice president of digital, in remarks to a media outlet. “We want to ensure this information remains under European control.”
