Airbus: firm presentation
Airbus S.A.S. began as a consortium of European aviation firms to compete with the might of the American firms such as Boeing. It was set up in 1970 following an agreement between Aerospatiale (France) and Deutsche Aerospace (Germany) (joined by CASA of Spain in 1971 and Great Britain in 1979) to develop the A300, which first flew in 1972.

Taking into account 34 cancellations, the net order book stands at 790 orders which represents 43 percent market share and 38 percent of the total market revenues. With this strong sales performance, Airbus has set another...
