Session Sponsors:
Airbus is a leading aircraft manufacturer whose customer focus, commercial know-how, technological leadership and manufacturing efficiency have propelled it to the forefront of the industry. With revenues of over 27 billion euros in 2008, Airbus today consistently captures about half of all commercial airliner orders. The company also continues to broaden its scope and product range by applying its expertise to the military market.
Headquartered in Toulouse, France, Airbus is owned by EADS. It is a truly global enterprise of some 52,000 employees, with fully-owned subsidiaries in the United States, China, Japan and in the Middle East, spare parts centres in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Washington, Beijing and Singapore, training centres in Toulouse, Miami, Hamburg and Beijing and more than 150 field service offices around the world. Airbus also relies on industrial co-operation and partnerships with major companies all over the world, and a network of some 1,500 suppliers in 30 countries.
Airbus draws together the skills and expertise of 15 sites in France, Germany, Spain and the UK. Each site produces a complete section of the aircraft, which is then transported to the Airbus final assembly lines in Toulouse, Hamburg or Tianjin. Airbus’ industrial network has been expanded to include a regional design office in North America, a joint venture engineering centre in Russia and further engineering centres in the People’s Republic of China and India.
Airbus’ modern and comprehensive product line comprises highly successful families of aircraft ranging from 107 to 525 seats: the single-aisle A320 Family (A318/A319/A320/A321), the wide-body long-range A330/A340 and the all-new next generation A350 XWB Family, and the ultra long-range, double-decker A380 Family. Across all its fly-by-wire aircraft families Airbus’ unique approach ensures that aircraft share the highest possible degree of commonality in airframes, on-board systems, cockpits and handling characteristics, which reduces significantly operating costs for airlines.
Furthermore, in anticipation of market growth, Airbus is extending its portfolio of freighter aircraft that will set new standards in the general and express freight market sectors. Airbus’ latest addition to its family of freighter aircraft is the A330-200F – a mid-size, long-haul cargo aircraft that benefits from the excellent economics and fly-by-wire technology of the popular A330-200 airliner. In addition to new-build-freighters, Airbus has also launched the A320/A321 Family passenger-to-freighter conversion programme aimed at replacing the many ageing small freighters in service today. As well as bringing new levels of efficiency to freight operations, it will extend the service life of the A320 Family even further, and boost the fleet’s residual value.
Airbus has sold over 9,400 aircraft to more than 400 customers/operators and has delivered over 5,900 aircraft since it first entered service in 1974. Dedicated to helping airlines enhance the profitability of their fleets, Airbus also delivers a wide range of customer services in all areas of support, tailored to the needs of individual operators all over the world.
Sensitive to its position as an industry leader, Airbus strives to be a truly eco-efficient enterprise. To that end Airbus is the first aeronautics company in the world to have earned the ISO 14001 environmental certification for all production sites and products for the entire life cycle. Airbus seeks to ensure that air transport continues to be an eco-efficient means of transport, delivering economic value while minimizing its environmental impact.
