BERLIN — Nations that have ordered Airbus' A400M military transport plane met Tuesday with parent company EADS before a weekend deadline to find a solution to the troubled project, an official said.
The negotiations in Berlin were the third round of talks in as many weeks. The manufacturer wants a decision by the end of the month.
EADS is urging the seven customer nations — Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Turkey — to increase their funding for the aircraft's construction, which is now four years behind schedule and more than $7 billion over budget.
The meeting at the German Defense Ministry lasted for five hours but ended in the evening with no conclusion, a ministry spokesman said on condition of anonymity.
