Airbus partners and suppliers are part of an extended family, each playing a crucial role in our joint success.

Around 80% of Airbus’ activity is sourced externally. We work with more than 12,000 suppliers worldwide, who provide products and services for flying and non-flying parts.

Airbus continuously develops its supplier base, with an overall sourcing volume valued at approximately €49.6 billion. Our external procurement is equivalent to over two-thirds of Airbus’ revenues.
 

Direct and indirect procurement

Suppliers for direct procurement are grouped by commodities for flying parts.

Indirect procurement of goods and services – also known as non-flying parts – comes under the responsibility of Airbus General Procurement.

What does Airbus look for?

Airbus seeks partners and suppliers who share our values. Transparency and trust are essential ingredients to work for the Airbus team. Partners and suppliers must have a proven track record of industrial maturity, operational reliability and delivering on shared commitments.

In particular, we look for partners who offer creative, innovative and digital solutions in a complex environment. This ensures Airbus provides first-class qualitative services to all of its customers.

Business Integrity:

A shared commitment with our suppliers

At Airbus, we conduct our business with integrity and in compliance with all laws and regulations and we expect the same of our suppliers. 

We will only do business with suppliers who share our values and do business ethically.

Airbus standards

Airbus requests that its suppliers comply with the Airbus Code of Conduct and sign the Supplier Commitment to our sustainability principles.

For Airbus External Report Independent (QTML), some light changes/improvements will take place from 15 November:

  • Qualifications can be differentiated if a Test Method is performed on supplier premises (Ex-Situ) or by Aircraft-related service providers (In-Situ). A new column “In-Situ/Ex-Situ” is added accordingly;
  • Facility information is included in the qualification: Facility is the location where the Test Method is performed. Consequently, “Test Facility” is renamed to “Supplier” (columns A to F) and 2 new columns are added “Facility Id” and “Facility Name.”
