1939 marked the beginning of Airbus Helicopters’ story in Marignane, France.
In 2019, we looked back at the most important achievements from the site’s 80-year lifespan, starting with the seaplane, to the airplane and into the 1960’s, which opened a new chapter with helicopters. At present day, the company has become a renowned leader in the aviation industry. After eight decades, we celebrate this legacy as Airbus Helicopters continues to push the boundaries in aviation and uphold our dedication to a better-connected, safer and more prosperous world.
