| The ethos of Airbus is to be a global company which thrives on the cultural diversity of its workforce. |

Airbus employees are used to working side by side with colleagues from different countries, exchanging ideas and expertise.
Getting the best results -- the highest quality in design and manufacturing, delivery on time and on cost and unparalleled after-sales service -- is about sharing responsibility at almost every level within Airbus. Leadership and initiative are qualities encouraged at Airbus.
Airbus employees are adaptable. In an industry which is open to market ebbs and flows and where time always costs money, Airbus must be able to respond quickly to the needs of its customers.
With its growing global presence Airbus draws on the most talented people from a wide range of backgrounds, training and developing them to Airbus standards.
At Airbus dialogue is a vital part of the working day. Communication channels between employees and managers are always open, ensuring that any problems are dealt with swiftly and effectively.
Passion and pride are emotions common among Airbus people: passion about the jobs they do and pride in the product they create. |
