Company executives say the decision is driven by security and data sovereignty concerns linked to US jurisdiction over sensitive industrial information.
The decision comes as Google faces a class-action lawsuit in the US over alleged privacy violations linked to its AI assistant, Gemini. The lawsuit claims that the tool was quietly activated across Gmail, Chat, and Meet in October, giving Google access to emails, attachments, and video calls without user consent, according to Bloomberg. Google has denied the allegations.
Airbus is now preparing to tender a major contract to migrate mission-critical workloads to a digitally sovereign European cloud. The company, which currently uses Google Workspace, plans to move key on-premises systems after consolidating its data center estate.
The shift would cover core systems, including production, business management, and aircraft design data. Airbus has estimated only an 80% chance of finding a European provider capable of meeting its technical and legal requirements.
"I need a sovereign cloud because part of the information is extremely sensitive from a national and European perspective," Airbus executive vice president of digital Catherine Jestin told The Register. "We want to ensure this information remains under European control."
The tender, valued at more than €50 million ($58.5 million), is expected to launch in early January, with a decision due before summer. Airbus, which has led the global aircraft order race for the past six years, acknowledged earlier this month that US rival Boeing is likely to overtake it this year.
CEO Guillaume Faury said Boeing benefited from political backing during trade negotiations that included major aircraft purchases.
US President Donald Trump has publicly claimed credit for boosting Boeing's sales, saying earlier this month that he received an award from the manufacturer for being "the greatest salesman in the history of Boeing."
