Airbus

Airbus SE (; French: [ɛʁbys] (listen); German: [ˈɛːɐ̯bʊs] (listen); Spanish: [ˈejɾβus]) is a Dutch multinational aerospace corporation. The company's primary business is the design and manufacturing of commercial aircraft. The company also has separate commercial, defence and space and helicopter divisions. As of 2019, Airbus is the world's largest manufacturer of airliners as well as the leading helicopter manufacturer.The company was incorporated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) on December 29th, 1998 and merged in 2000 with the French Aérospatiale and the German DASA, and later acquired full ownership of Airbus SAS, a collaboration of European aerospace companies to develop and produce a wide-body aircraft to compete with American-built airliners, which would later merge together. Reflecting this multi-national origin, the company operates major offices and assembly plants in France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom, along with more recent additions in Canada, China, and the United States.

Airbus's registered headquarters is in Leiden, Netherlands, but daily management is conducted from Blagnac, Toulouse Métropole, France. The 'SE' in its corporate name means it is a Societas Europaea. The company is led by CEO Guillaume Faury and is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.
