Firma pesawat Airbus, yang membangunkan jet pejuang Typhoon British, juga berdagang 1.5 % peratus sejak pasaran saham dibuka pada hari Khamis.

Andrew Smith Kempen Menentang Senjata Perdagangan memberitahu CommonSpace bahawa senjata syarikat-syarikat yang mengambil kesempatan di atas pertumpahan darah.
"Malangnya, di mana kebanyakan daripada kita melihat peperangan dan kemusnahan, syarikat-syarikat senjata melihat peluang perniagaan. Ia adalah konflik dan campur tangan tentera yang penjualan senjata api, dan syarikat-syarikat seperti BAE hanya terlalu gembira untuk tunai di daripadanya. Syarikat-syarikat ini tidak peduli siapa yang menggunakan senjata mereka atau kerosakan yang mereka menyebabkan, satu-satunya perkara yang mereka mengambil berat tentang adalah keuntungan."
Perdana Menteri, David Cameron memberi amaran pada hari Khamis bahawa tindakan ketenteraan British di Syria akan menjadi rumit dan mengambil masa yang lama.
"Ini akan mengambil masa. Ia adalah kompleks dan sukar apa yang kita minta juruterbang kami lakukan, dan fikiran kita harus dengan mereka dan keluarga mereka kerana mereka memulakan kerja yang penting ini, "katanya.
Aircraft firm Airbus, which develops the British Typhoon fighter jet, is also trading 1.5 percent up since the stock market opened on Thursday.
Italian arms dealer Finmeccanica has also seen its shares rise by 2 percent.
Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade told CommonSpace that arms companies are cashing in on the bloodshed.
“Unfortunately, where most of us see war and destruction, the arms companies see a business opportunity. It is conflict and military intervention that fuel arms sales, and companies like BAE are only too happy to cash in from it. These companies don’t care who uses their weapons or the damage they cause, the only thing they care about is profit.”
Prime Minister David Cameron warned on Thursday that British military action in Syria will be complex and take a long time.
“This is going to take time. It is complex and it is difficult what we are asking our pilots to do, and our thoughts should be with them and their families as they commence this important work,” he added.
