MONTREAL, June 13 (Reuters) - Airbus on Friday named the

head of its Canada operation, which oversees the A220 jet, to

run its global supply chain.

Benoit Schultz will become chief procurement officer from Oct 1,

the planemaker said in a LinkedIn post. Reuters reported earlier

this month that supply chief Juergen Westermeier had been

appointed to run the group's operations in India.

Airbus supply chains are being closely scrutinised as it

faces bottlenecks with suppliers of parts and other components.
