Airbus has turned 50 celebrating the milestone with a flypast over its Toulouse headquarters.
A range of Airbus aircraft including the A220, A320, A330neo, A350 XWB, A380 and BelugaXL flew in formation, as the company marked the 50th anniversary of May 29, 1969 when the original Airbus partnership agreement was signed signalling the launch of the A300B programme.
Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus said: “Airbus’ story is one of ambition and progress, and has been a showcase of European integration. Over five decades, we have brought together civil and defence aviation businesses from throughout the continent.
For 50 years, we have pioneered many firsts through our passion and innovation, transforming the industry and helping to move society forward. Airbus is a story of incredible men and women, a story of great achievements in the past and, above all, in the future.”
