PARIS—Airbus named its second new sales chief in less than a year on Sept. 13 after chief commercial officer Eric Schulz abruptly resigned nine months after being poached from Rolls-Royce to lead the battle for jet sales against Boeing.
The European planemaker said Christian Scherer, head of turboprop maker ATR and an Airbus veteran who had been beaten to the job by Schulz in November last year, would take over the position immediately, reporting to Chief Executive Tom Enders.
