LONDON (Reuters) - The chief executive of BAE Systems (LON:BAES) said that Japan, Britain and Italy's fighter jet project has enough partners to proceed as it is, but he didn't rule out a future partnership with a rival French, German and Spanish fighter jet project.

Asked about the potential for joining forces with the rival project CEO Charles Woodburn told reporters on a call on Friday: "I wouldn't rule out one thing or another at the end of the day. These are political decisions."
