BERLIN, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Talks between Airbus and officials from purchasing nations over the fate of the A400M troop plane were adjourned on Tuesday evening without any result, a German Defence Ministry spokesman said.
He said the talks would be resumed soon. The date and location are to be determined.
'The talks took place in a constructive atmosphere,' the spokesman said. Time is running out before a Jan. 31 deadline to tackle splurging costs. Airbus is the aircraft unit of aerospace group EADS. German has an order for 60 of the A400M planes.
