PARIS, July 29 (Reuters) - Airbus said on Wednesday

it had paid just over £6.4 million to UK revenue and customs

authorities to settle a two-year-old investigation into export

control violations.

The European planemaker announced the probe involving

several of its British entities in 2024.

The settlement agreed earlier this month "closes and fully

resolves the matter," Airbus said in notes to quarterly earnings

released on Wednesday.

People familiar with the probe have said it focused on

anomalies over the cross-border transfer of parts for the A400M

military airlifter that came to light during an audit in 2022.

Airbus declined comment on details of the investigation but

said it had voluntarily disclosed the issues and had cooperated

fully with the review.

The company "has long since implemented comprehensive

remediation measures," a spokesperson said.

In 2020, Airbus agreed to pay $10 million and appoint an

export control compliance officer to resolve findings by the

State Department that Airbus had violated export controls known

as the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
