Airbus aircraft connect the world

Wherever you want to travel, an Airbus aircraft can take you there. From our latest-generation single-aisle A220 and A320neo families, to our widebodies, the A330neo, A350, and the world's largest jetliner, the A380. Our fleet of aircraft offer passengers an unparalleled flying experience, featuring full digital connectivity across all models. Our award-winning Airspace cabin is available for all our aircraft, providing passengers with a seamless blend of modern fixtures, enhanced mood lighting and exceptional comfort. 

All current Airbus aircraft have achieved significant reductions in fuel consumption and noise levels compared to the previous generation of aircraft. They are all also capable of flying on a 50% blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). While innovation and decarbonisation guide our efforts to constantly improve our aircraft, safety remains at the core of everything we do. Advances in technology have been complimented by effective regulation, a strong safety culture and improved training to make this generation of aircraft the safest one yet.

Elevated passenger experience

Airspace cabin innovation

Airbus' Airspace cabins feature innovative design choices that enhance passenger comfort and improve the flying experience. Available on all our aircraft, the Airspace cabin features spacious, modern interiors with larger overhead bins and improved lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. The cabin offers noise reductions and its ergonomic design maximises space to offer wider seats and more leg room. Passengers enjoy enhanced air quality and fully connected digital experiences.

Airbus Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Pioneering sustainable aerospace

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can reduce CO2 emissions from flight by up to 80% across the fuel lifecycle. All Airbus aircraft can fly using a 50% SAF blend and we are conducting flight tests to confirm their ability to fly with 100% SAF.

Hydrogen propulsion

Hydrogen propulsion aircraft could reduce aviation's reliance on fossil fuels. Our ZEROe demonstrator is powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which transform the hydrogen into electricity through a chemical reaction. Learn more about hydrogen propulsion

Hybridisation and electric flight

Hybrid-electric propulsion has the potential to reduce fuel consumption by up to 5% compared to a standard flight. Airbus is working closely with key industry players to advance hybridisation research. Learn more about hybridisation and electric flight

Airbus Safety Promotion Centre exterior view

Always putting safety first

The number one priority of Airbus is the safety of everyone and everything that flies aboard one of our aircraft. No accident is ever acceptable. Our commitment to providing safety support for Airbus aircraft in operation applies for as long as an aircraft is in service. We recognise that the safety of a flight means aircraft must not only be safely designed, tested and built, but also safely maintained and flown by trained operators in a safe environment. Airbus cooperates closely with partners worldwide on safety. 

Frequently asked questions

What are the different passenger aircraft models offered by Airbus?

Airbus currently produces the A220, A320, A330 and A350 families of aircraft. It no longer produces the A380 but it is committed to supporting customers who operate it. 

What is the world's largest passenger aircraft?

The Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger aircraft, certified to carry a maximum of 853 passengers.

How many passengers can an Airbus aircraft carry?

Airbus produces a variety of aircraft that seat anywhere from 135 passengers (the A220-100) to 853 passengers (the A380).

What does NEO mean?

NEO stands for 'new engine option'. It is applied to the updated version of certain aircraft that feature more fuel-efficient engines and aerodynamic improvements compared to the original model. On the A320 Family, NEO aircraft are fitted out with either CFM International LEAP or Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines, while for the A330 Family the new engine is the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000. 

Where are Airbus passenger aircraft manufactured?

Airbus has five final assembly lines located around the world. They are located in Toulouse, France (A320 , A330, and A350 Families); Hamburg, Germany (A320 Family); Mobile, Alabama, US (A220 and A320 Families); Tianjin, China (A320 Family); and Mirabel, Canada (A220 Family). 

Do Airbus aircraft fly with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)?

All Airbus aircraft can already fly using a 50% SAF blend and the next generation of single-aisle aircraft will be able to fly on 100% SAF. In 2024, Airbus increased the percentage of SAF used in its own operations to 16%, with an ultimate target of using at least 30% SAF in its global fuel mix by 2030. We also provide SAF free of charge to customers taking delivery of new aircraft; in 2024, 75% of our aircraft deliveries used a SAF fuel blend. 

How does Airbus reduce the environmental impact of its aircraft?

Airbus is committed to reducing the impact of its aircraft through a multi-prong approach to decarbonisation. This includes:

  • accelerating fleet renewal to improve the fuel burn of the global aircraft fleet
  • improving aircraft and air traffic operations
  • investing in SAF and carbon compensation and neutralisation solutions
  • researching non-CO2 emissions
  • supporting the energy transition through the development of lower-emission propulsion technology.
