The first Airbus aircraft, the A300B1, first took to the skies on October 28th, 1972. For the A300B1 to happen it required bringing together, within an unprecedented industrial cooperation programme, the vision, expertise and knowhow of the best minds of the European aerospace industry. Airbus’ success owes as much to its culture of collaboration and diversity as it does to its pioneering spirit and innovative mindset.
Many of the Airbus sites in Europe are steeped in history dating back to the earliest days of aviation. Today in the 21st century, history is being written at Airbus sites globally as we pioneer the transition of our industry towards sustainable aerospace.
