In manufacturing

An emphasis on innovation

As one of the world’s leading builders of commercial and military aircraft, Airbus has an industrial presence that spans the globe. The company’s own manufacturing, production and sub-assembly of parts for Airbus aircraft are distributed among 15 sites in Europe, with jetliner final assembly lines in Toulouse, France and Hamburg, Germany – complemented by an A320 Family production site in Tianjin, China. Military transport aircraft are produced by Airbus Military in Spain, with a final assembly located in Seville and military tanker outfitting performed in Madrid.

Starting with the milestone A300 programme, Airbus has continually used innovation to leverage the skills and know-how of its network of manufacturing locations – resulting in streamlined and efficient production of the company’s full family of jetliners and military airlifters.
