April 28 (Reuters) - The CEO of European planemaker Airbus AIR.PA said on Tuesday that disagreements with France's Dassault Aviation AM.PA over Franco-German plans to develop a next-generation European fighter jet were not resolved yet but that work continues on finding a way forward.

"I'm not suggesting the disagreements are resolved, but I'm suggesting there's work ongoing by the different stakeholders to try to identify the best way forward," Airbus chief Guillaume Faury told reporters.
