About us

We pioneer sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world

✈️🚁🛰️

Airbus is a global leader in aeronautics, space and related services. In 2020, it generated revenues of €49.9 billion and employed a workforce of around 150,000. Airbus offers the most comprehensive range of passenger airliners. Airbus is also a European leader providing tanker, combat, transport and mission aircraft, as well as one of the world’s leading space companies. In helicopters, Airbus provides the most efficient civil and military rotorcraft solutions worldwide.

Airbus is an international pioneer in the aerospace industry and a leader in designing, manufacturing and delivering aerospace products, services and solutions to customers on a global scale. We believe that it’s not just what we make, but how we make it that counts; promoting responsible, sustainable and inclusive business practices and acting with integrity. Our people work with passion and determination to make the world a more connected, safer and smarter place, on the ground, in the sky and in space.

Each and every one of our diverse team plays a pivotal role in making us a recognised leader in aerospace. It is not only a job on offer, it is a career! You can look forward to career growth and development, with opportunities to move across our different product areas.
Our inclusive culture of innovation encourages creativity, experimentation, and collaboration. Therefore, our global presence offers unique opportunities to work with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and locations around the world.

The six core values that guide the behaviours of Airbus employees around the world. At Airbus, how we work is just as important as what we produce. We are guided by a set of six values, each chosen by the very people who embody them.
Customer focus, integrity, respect, creativity, reliability and teamwork. These values shape the DNA of our business, reflecting the unique blend of qualities found in every member of our global family.

Approach to diversity & inclusion

At Airbus, we recognise the power of diversity. It drives creativity, innovation and problem solving. From the front-line to the back-office, all of us can make an impact – our individual behaviours contribute to what we can achieve as a whole.

Our mission is to become a leading employer of choice, known not just for our products, but for our inclusive culture and diverse workforce. Together, we want to shape the future of aerospace, drawing strength from diverse perspectives and talents.

At Airbus, inclusion means celebrating and valuing diversity. We want all our employees – irrespective of their socio-economic background, age, race, ethnicity, physical ability, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation or any other characteristic – to feel valued, respected, included and heard.

Diversity in action:

Female representation 🦸‍♀️
Gender is at the heart of our strategy for achieving equity in our policies and practices, our employee experience, talent recruitment and retention.

We recognise that aerospace and defence are historically male-dominated industries, and we are committed to challenging that.

This is why we place a strong focus on promoting STEM careers among women through external partnerships and the support of employee resource groups – for example with Capital Filles, Women in Aviation, IAWA.

Promoting gender parity is a top priority in our recruitment efforts. We are committed to facilitating the progression of women to leadership positions through our “Balance for Business” employee resource group. To foster pay equity, we are signatories to the UK Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter, and we welcome the UK and French governments’ Gender Pay Gap Reports.

Social diversity 🌎
We believe our strength lies in the differences of our people. Employee Resource Groups such as EmBRACE in the UK and Full Spectrum in America foster racial diversity at Airbus. We have also signed charters that contribute to the economic and social development of underprivileged neighbourhoods. In 2023, 75 apprentices were able to take part in FlightPath9, an apprenticeship programme for under-represented communities in the United States.

LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈
We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind. For us, every individual is unique and valuable. We are early adopters of the UN LGBTI Standards of Conduct for Business which provide guidance on best practices to advocate for the rights of LGBTQ+ people in the countries in which we operate.

(Dis)ability 🦾
Disability is not a barrier at Airbus. We champion initiatives that promote equal opportunity. We also encourage dialogue and awareness of our people with (dis)abilities—both visible and non-visible disabilities.

To ensure an inclusive supply chain, Airbus partners with companies that work with disabled people across Europe.
