omSpace A/S ("GomSpace") a subsidiary of GomSpace Group AB (publ) (the "Company") has entered a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with Airbus Defence and Space.

"Digitalisation of flight operations globally will significantly add value to the aviation industry and improve security and convenience for passengers. We are happy to contribute to this digital transformation working with Airbus" says Niels Buus, CEO GomSpace Group.
