- Description: The EU Court of Justice set aside a 2023 ruling and ordered the General Court to re-examine OHB's complaint that Airbus gained an unfair advantage by hiring OHB's former bid chief. The Galileo satellite contract awarded to Airbus and Thales Alenia Space was worth about EUR 1.5 billion.
