LONDON—The chief executive of Airbus warned on Jan. 24, that the aviation giant could move its U.K. operations out of the country if Britain leaves the European Union without a deal on trade relations.

Tom Enders’ sharply worded statement comes as business leaders increasingly express their frustration at the lack of progress in securing a Brexit deal ahead of Britain’s scheduled March 29 exit from the bloc.
