80 years of Airbus Helicopters in Marignane
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.
