The Toulouse-Blagnac area has FAL (Final Assembly Line) for the entire range of Airbus commercial airliners (A320, A330, A350 and A380 families), as well as facilities for fitting out passenger cabins and painting pla

Marignane

Interested in helicopters? Marignane offers interns the opportunity to immerse themselves in engineering applied to helicopters and other rotary sail aircraft. From design to maintenance, interns acquire valuable skills on these exciting devices at the heart of safety and personal assistance issues.

Marignane is home to the head office of Airbus Helicopters. It offers a large overview of the product range of civil, government, military, police and parapublic helicopters. Nearly 9,000 employees at the site are engaged in nearly every aspect of the helicopter industry.

Élancourt

Discover interns opportunities in the defence and space sectors near the French capital. 

Located in the south-west suburbs of Paris, the Elancourt site focuses on intelligence, secure and satellite communications, C4ISR, maritime and cyber security, as well as on-board space and defence electronics, all of which contribute to making Airbus the European leader in defence, space and security and the No. 1 defence supplier in France.

Paris Le Bourget

Around 650 people work on the Paris-Le Bourget site in Dugny (next to Le Bourget airport, near Paris), within this Center of Excellence specializing in the production of rotor blades and research on materials composites. Interns on site have the unique opportunity to have access to all services, thus being able to quickly acquire knowledge about the division's activities and projects.

Manufacturing some 3,000 blades per year and repairing almost half of them, the site is an essential link in the Airbus helicopter production chain, whose ambition is to become the world reference in blades.
