Earlier this month, a workplace Christmas party that left scores of employees ill took a turn for the worse for the staff of an Airbus subsidiary in France.
In an email to CNN, an official for the European aerospace industry stated, “Around 100 Airbus Atlantic employees were taken ill after contracting a food-borne illness after eating the company-organized Christmas lunch.”
The sort of meal was not specified by the spokeswoman.
According to the statement, no one at Airbus was gravely harmed by the event on December 15 and all workers returned to work the following Monday.
Founded in January 2022, Airbus Atlantic is a fully owned subsidiary of Airbus that specializes in aircraft seats. Airbus Atlantic employs 13,000 people across five nations, but the disastrous Christmas lunch took place in France.
The Airbus representative stated that the sickness outbreak is being investigated by French health authorities.
The Airbus representative continued, “This seems to be an isolated incident and all employees are recovering well.” “Our top priority continues to be the health of our employees, and we are working closely with the ARS health agency to determine the illness’s cause and make sure it doesn’t happen again in the future.”
