Your company of operation – Airbus Group As one of the countries that were key to the creation of Airbus, Germany has a rich history of aircraft design and construction, and is home to some of Airbus’ largest and most important operations. The company employs more than 46,000 people working across 27 sites, representing close to half of the country’s entire aerospace workforce. Airbus’ strong German roots provide an important impetus for growth and competitiveness for both the company and Germany as an industrial location. Airbus works with more than 10,000 external suppliers in Germany and procures goods and services valued at an estimated €8.3 billion a year, while achieving an annual turnover of around €4.7 billion in Germany. In addition to extensive work in the commercial aircraft and rotorcraft sectors, Airbus develops cutting- edge technology and tailor-made products that reinforce national security, including military helicopters, satellite programs for secure military communication and the Eurofighter – Europe’s world-class multirole fighter jet. Commercial Aircraft Airbus’s commercial aircraft activities involve approximately 28,000 workers in Germany, representing nearly a third of all jobs in the country’s civil aviation industry. The city of Hamburg plays an important role in the Airbus production network, with many of its German staff working at the Hamburg-Finkenwerder production site. This workforce is central to Airbus programs, as it handles structural assembly and equipping of fuselage sections, as well oversees the A320 jetliner family’s program management. Hamburg-Finkenwerder is responsible for more than half of Airbus’ annual A320 Family output, with the facility hosting four production lines for the single-aisle jetliner family. Additionally, the site is vital for the A380 program, with its major component assembly hall that handles structural assembly and equipping of forward and complete rear fuselage sections for this very large aircraft. These fully assembled and outfitted fuselage sections are then shipped to the A380 final assembly line in Toulouse, France on a custom-built roll-on, roll-off sea-going vessel. Following final assembly in Toulouse, A380s are flown to Hamburg to be fitted with customers’ cabin interiors and painted in one of the two high-tech A380 paint shops before final delivery. Final acceptance and delivery of A380s for customers in Europe and the Middle East take place from the delivery centre at Hamburg-Finkenwerder. Hamburg also plays a key role in the A330 and A350 XWB programs, manufacturing and equipping the jetliners’ forward and rear fuselage sections. In Bremen, more than 3,000 people work at the second-largest Airbus site in Germany, where they are responsible for the design, manufacturing, integration and testing of high-lift systems for the wings of Airbus aircraft. Approximately 2,000 employees work at Airbus’ operation in the city of Stade, producing vertical stabilizers for Airbus aircraft. Stade is one of the world's leading centers for carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) – the weight-saving composite material that Airbus has increasingly incorporated into its aircraft. Major components of the fuselage and wings of the A350 XWB, made of CFRP, are manufactured in Stade as well. At Donauwörth, the facility’s primary focus on helicopters is complemented by its manufacturing of aircraft doors – where some 80% of all doors used on Airbus jetliners are produced. Helicopters Airbus employs more than 6,000 people in its German helicopter industrial activities, assigned to the primary sites in Donauwörth and Kassel. Donauwörth is Airbus’ main helicopter production site in Germany and is home to the world’s second- largest helicopter plant.

Airbus’ H135 and H145 light utility helicopters are designed and manufactured in Donauwörth, as is the UHT version of the military Tiger twin-engine attack helicopter. The NHIndustries NH90 – a transport and naval rotorcraft built in a European joint venture involving Airbus – is produced at Donauwörth for the Bundeswehr – the unified armed forces of Germany – and foreign customers. More than manufacturing, Donauwörth is the centre of tomorrow’s helicopter technology in Germany with some 800 engineers working in its development centre. The city also is home to the Military Support Centre where Bundeswehr helicopters are serviced and equipped with the latest technology. Maintenance and repair, technical training and equipment integration are carried out in Kassel. Defence The city of Manching is the centre of competence for Airbus’ military air systems activity in Germany, hosting Airbus’ contribution to the Eurofighter program – including final assembly, system tests and flight trials with these combat aircraft for Germany’s air force, the Luftwaffe. Manching also services Airbus- made aircraft flying with the Luftwaffe. Research and development activities in unmanned flight – such as the Barracuda technology testbed and innovative demonstrators like the Quadcruiser – also take place in Manching. , in southwest Germany, is home to the Airbus’ radar expertise: the Eurofighter’s on-board radar, along with border security systems, maritime radars and radar antennas for satellites are developed and manufactured at Ulm. Bremen, in the northwest of the country, develops and builds the integrated fuselage assembly for the A400M military transport aircraft, including the cargo loading system. Space Airbus employees in Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen, near Munich, produce solar panels for satellites, as well as design, develop and manufacture rocket engines and thrust chambers for the Ariane 5 commercial launch vehicle. The Near Infrared Spectrograph – an instrument capable of detecting the faintest radiation from distant galaxies – is a product of Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen for use on the U.S. James Webb Space Telescope. Bremen is a centre of competence for space transportation, manned space flight and space robotics. Its highly-skilled employees work on key programmes such as the Ariane 5 commercial launcher and the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle – a joint project between the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). Bremen also is responsible for operation of European components on the International Space Station. Airbus engineers in Friedrichshafen are currently developing the second generation of MetOp weather satellites, which will be launched from 2021. The multispectral satellites for the Sentinel-2 mission, the oceanographic satellites for Sentinel-6 and the radar instrument for Sentinel-1 are built here for the European Union's Copernicus Earth observation program. With its involvement in the joint European- Japanese BepiColombo mission to Mercury, which launches in 2018, the site is at the leading edge of space exploration. The portfolio of space-related projects in Friedrichshafen also includes products and services for space-based reconnaissance, such as the marketing of radar images from the TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites as well as their successors. Work is also focused on experimental facilities for research under zero-gravity conditions for the International Space Station ISS. Airbus’ future in Germany With commercial jetliner and space activities in the northern part of the country, military aircraft work in the south and helicopter operations in the centre, Airbus in Germany is well positioned for the future of aviation. Technology teams across the country are focusing on forward-looking concepts – such as unmanned and individualized air transport – that will fundamentally change the flying experience. Since the company’s foundation, the number of people employed at Airbus in Germany has risen; and as growth rates in the industry indicate, this success story is destined to continue for years to come. A founding nation of Airbus, Germany will continue to be a key pillar for the success of the company around the world.

Location information Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg Hamburg is a city-state and a county of the Federal Republic of Germany. The official name goes back to the as a free imperial city and as a leading member of the of Commerce. With a population of approx. 1.8 million, Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany after and the largest city in the European Union, which is not a capital city. The metropolitan region of Hamburg is home to more than five million inhabitants. The is one of the largest shipment ports in the world and, together with its international airport, makes Hamburg one of the most important logistics locations in Europe. Economically and scientifically, the metropolis is particularly important in the field of cutting- edge technologies such as aerospace technology, biosciences and information technology, as well as for the consumer goods industry. Hamburg has a leading media landscape and video games industry in continental Europe, a growing start-up ecosystem and a dynamic cultural and creative scene. Hamburg as a location for education and research is the home of several renowned educational institutions, institutes and research centres. Since 2015, the , which dates back to the time of industrialization, and the neighboring in the style of expressionism have been part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Other well-known cultural monuments and landmarks are the Hamburg City Hall and the five prominent main churches. Typical for the cityscape are clinker facades and many water locations along the and rivers, as well as numerous canalss. The "Kiez" with the Reeperbahn as an entertainment district and door opener for musicians and other artists, as well as the concert hall of the , are well-known throughout Europe. Hamburg is the most important location for musicals on the European continent. Hamburg is experiencing steady growth in city tourism, and is considered one of the cities with the highest quality of life worldwide. Hamburg has been the seat of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ISGH) since 1996. Since 2004, the Hamburg Summit, an important Chinese-European summit, has been held in the cosmopolitan city. In July 2017, the twelfth G20 Summit took place in the Hanseatic city. Hamburg is home to a number of sights of supra-regional importance. In a worldwide survey conducted by the German National Tourist Board in 2017, numerous sights in Hamburg were once again ranked among the top 100 in Germany, including the Miniatur Wunderland, which ranked first. Road traffic Hamburg has extensive long-distance road connections. Several federal motorways touch the city area: the A 1, A 7, A 23, A 24 and A 25. There are also motorway sections south of the Elbe with a few kilometres, which are designated as A 252, A 253 and A 255. In Hamburg, the federal roads B 4, B 5, B 73, B 75, B 207, B 431, B 432, B 433 and B 447 run along the B 4, B 5, B 75, B 207, B 431, B 433 and B 447 federal roads, most of which lead radially to the inner city area. This means that road traffic is concentrated there, which leads to considerable traffic problems. In the 1960s, tangential connections to divert through-traffic and to develop the urban area on a large scale were planned as urban motorways.

The plans were mostly abandoned due to massive protests from the population, especially from the affected districts. However, there are three ring roads, which run in a semicircle around the inner city (Ring 1) and outer city (Ring 2) and as a quarter circle through the northwestern outer districts (Ring 3). In addition, there are several other four-lane main roads. The "core network" formed in this way is very heavily burdened by car and heavy goods traffic, although it often leads as a city street directly through densely populated quarters. Rail and public transport Hamburg is the largest railway junction in Northern Europe. The Hanseatic city has a long railway history, since the first line in 1842. There are various ICE and IC lines for long- distance rail passenger transport to other European countries, for example to or Basel; individual trains run to Wroclaw, Vienna or Prague. Night trains take passengers directly from Hamburg to Munich, Basel, Zurich and Vienna. Most long-distance trains run through the main station and often start and end at Hamburg-Altona station. There are also the long-distance stations Hamburg Dammtor, Hamburg-Harburg and Hamburg-Bergedorf. From Hamburg Central Bus Station (ZOB) near the main railway station, there are long-distance bus lines to destinations in Germany and abroad, especially to Eastern Europe (Baltic States, Poland). Buses run several times a day in the direction of Berlin. Urban and regional transport Hamburg is the largest railway junction in Northern Europe. The Hanseatic city can look back on a long railway history, since the first line in 1842. There are various ICE lines and IC lines for long-distance rail passenger transport to other European countries, for example to Copenhagen or Basel; individual trains run to Wroclaw, Vienna or Prague. Night trains take passengers directly from Hamburg to Munich, Basel, Zurich and Vienna. Most long-distance trains run through the main station and often start and end at Hamburg-Altona station. There are also the long-distance stations Hamburg Dammtor, Hamburg-Harburg and Hamburg-Bergedorf. From Hamburg Central Bus Station (ZOB) near the main railway station there are long-distance bus lines to Germany and abroad, especially to Eastern Europe (Baltic States, Poland). Buses run several times a day in the direction of Berlin. In addition to numerous regional railway lines that open up the Hamburg hinterland, there are regional express connections to Elmshorn - Neumünster - Kiel or Flensburg - Padborg, Lübeck, Schwerin - Rostock and to Elmshorn - Westerland (Sylt). The metronome trains to Stade - Cuxhaven, Bremen and Lüneburg - Uelzen (- Hannover - Göttingen) offer similar services. The local public transport system (ÖPNV) is served, among other things, by a rapid-transit railway network consisting mainly of six S-Bahn lines and four underground lines. The network also includes several suburbs outside the city area. In addition, regional trains and RE trains as well as the AKN rapid transit trains in the north of the city run from (Neumünster -) Kaltenkirchen and Henstedt-Ulzburg to Hamburg- Eidelstedt and -Norderstedt Mitte. In addition, there is a well-developed city bus network, which tends to be significantly overloaded. In addition to bus and rail connections, the port is also served by port ferries. In the nights before Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the most important bus lines, underground and suburban trains are operated continuously (night traffic network), with peripheral areas being accessed by special night bus lines. For the remaining nights, there is a night bus network with 19 lines. All means of regional and local transport (all regional trains, also from private operators, S-, U-, A-Bahn as well as buses and harbour ferries) can be used in and around Hamburg with tickets of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV), which was founded in 1965 as the first transport association in the world. In addition, the state tickets Schleswig-Holstein-Ticket, Niedersachsen-Ticket and Mecklenburg-

Vorpommern-Ticket, as well as the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket are also valid for all means of transport of the HVV in the "Großbereich Hamburg" (express buses with surcharge).

Hamburg - Finkenwerder Finkenwerder lies on the south bank of the Lower Elbe. The municipalities to the southwest, beyond the Mühlenberger Loch, belong to the Alte Land. A considerable part of the peninsula is occupied by the Airbus factory site with the Hamburg-Finkenwerder airfield, which is also the headquarters of Airbus Operations GmbH. In local public transport (ÖPNV), the district is integrated into the Hamburg transport network by HADAG shipping lines (line 62 to St. Pauli Landungsbrücken and line 64 to Teufelsbrück) and by HHA bus lines (150 through the new to Altona station and Cranz, 251 to Neugraben) and KVG (146 to Harburg station and Sinstorf). During the shift change times of the Airbus plants, a number of busses run in almost all directions south of the Elbe. With the Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH, an aviation company was established in Finkenwerder for the first time in 1933. The subsidiary of Blohm & Voss was equipped with an airfield in the end of the 1930s and developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm and DASA into today's Airbus Group. In many ways, the Airbus sites in Germany contribute to the success of the world's leading aircraft manufacturer.

Manching Manching (approx. 12,000 inhabitants) is a market town in the Upper Bavarian district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm in the southeast of Ingolstadt. It consists of the districts of Manching, Oberstimm, Niederstimm, Pichl, Forstwiesen im Feilenmoos, Westenhausen, Lindach and Rottmannshart. The river Paar flows northward through the town to the Danube. The village looks back on thousands of years of settlement history. Today, a facility for test flights at Ingolstadt/Manching Air Base, consisting of the Bundeswehr Military Technical Office 61 for Aircraft and the Airbus Defence and Space plant, part of the Airbus Group, is located nearby. Industry Airbus Group: Manching is home to the Airbus Defence and Space division (formerly Cassidian), which currently employs approximately 4,500 people. The headquarters of the division relocated from Ottobrunn to Manching in December 2008. The prototype of the Eurofighter was manufactured here. The competence centre for military flight systems is located in Manching. The site houses the Eurofighter program, including final assembly, system tests and flight trials for the German armed forces. In addition, all other aircraft manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space for the German Air Force are serviced in Manching. The division's unmanned aerial systems (UAS) research and development activities make the site a recognized German development center for UAS, such as the technological test vehicle Barracuda and innovative demonstrators such as the Quadcruiser. Airbus Defence and Space also uses the airfield of Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 61, whose southern runway (07R/25L) with a length of 2,940 m and a width of 60 m, is one of the largest in Europe, and was designated as the official emergency runway for the American Space Shuttle project. Public facilities The Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr with its Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 61 (WTD 61) at the Fliegerhorst Ingolstadt/Manching is one of the largest employers in the market community. Convenient location By car: Centrally located near the A9 motorway between Munich and Nuremberg. By train: (ICE) connections from Ingolstadt every 30 minutes to the surrounding cities. Bus: Transport association INVG (line 16) with reasonable fares. Bicycle: Well developed network of cycle paths. Leisure, culture & tourism Manching is the former Celtic capital of the Vindelikers. The location at the intersection of two former trade routes in north-south and east-west direction has remained until today. However, these main traffic routes are the A9 from Nuremberg to Munich and the B16 from to Donauwörth. These facilitate reaching the Bavarian main cities of Munich, Augsburg, Nuremberg and Regensburg within a maximum of one hour. In and around Manching you will always come across the past of this historical region, which has been preserved with many exhibits in the Celtic Roman museum. But also for the sporty leisure activities like hiking and cycling there are various possibilities in and around Manching. Swimming friends and wellness lovers also get their money's worth. The local leisure pool offers all water lovers a swimming hall as well as a non-swimmer pool with pleasant, warm bathing temperatures, ideal for all parents who want to splash around with their toddlers. And the

somewhat older children won't be bored either, as they can enjoy themselves on the slide. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then the wellness area in the new school swimming pool in Manching is the right place for you. A shower, massage jets (in the non-swimmer pool) and a steam bath with relaxation room are waiting for you! A highlight in the outgoing summer is the annual Barthelmarkt, which takes place every year on the last weekend of August in the district of Oberstimm. The numerous visitors from near and far meet from Friday to Monday in one of the four beer tents or on Monday morning to the horse market at the fairground. A listed church is to be found on the old outwork from the 2nd World War. The Protestant Peace Church was built in 1958 from the demolition material of the damaged fortress, according to plans by architect Olaf Andreas Gulbransson (1916-1961).

Donauwörth Donauwörth is a large district town in the Swabian district of Donau-Ries and the seat of the district administration. Donauwörth lies in northern Swabia, at the estuaries of Kessel and Wörnitz (both from the north) as well as Zusam and Schmutter (both from the south) into the Danube, which runs from southwest to east; the Lech coming from the south flows into this river about 12 km east of the town. Donauwörth lies at the southwest foothills of the Franconian Alb with the Altmühltal Nature Park and at the east foothills (Riesalb) of the Swabian Alb. Beyond the Danube, a few kilometres south of the city, is the Augsburg-Westliche Wälder nature park. Road traffic At Donauwörth the federal highways 2 (Nuremberg - Augsburg), which is built like a motorway from Augsburg to Donauwörth, the federal highway 16 (Ulm - Regensburg) and the federal highway 25 (Uffenheim - Donauwörth) intersect. Rail transport The Donauwörth railway station is a railway junction with the long-distance route from Augsburg to Treuchtlingen and Nuremberg, the Donautalbahn from Regensburg and Ingolstadt to Ulm and is the starting point of the Riesbahn to Aalen. All four directions are served every hour during the week, every half hour to Augsburg and every two hours on weekends. Due to the faster connection via the new line from Nuremberg via Ingolstadt to Munich, only a few ICEs and ICs trains stop in Donauwörth, but since 10 December 2006 Donauwörth has been served by the fast Allgäu-Franken Express trains, which connect Nuremberg with Lindau and Oberstdorf. Local public transport Three inner-city bus lines run at half-hourly/hourly intervals and two suburban lines. In the mornings and evenings, there are also individual amplifier buses. In addition, the district town is connected to the surrounding area by several regional bus lines operated by the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Donau-Ries (VDR), which operates in the city area. The new lines 4 and 5, which connect Donauwörth with the surrounding countryside, were put into operation on the first of July 2016. Line 4 also reinforces the cycle on city line 3 and line 5 crosses the Reichsstraße, thus providing additional travel from the railway station to the city centre. In addition, additional routes are offered in the evening and on Saturdays. Industry Airbus Helicopters: Airbus Helicopters was founded in 1992, and is a Franco-German-Spanish group and division of the Airbus Group, a global leader in aerospace and defence. Airbus Helicopters is organised into a German, a French and a Spanish division. The international and French headquarters are located in Marignane, the German in Donauwörth and the Spanish in Madrid. Donauwörth is the headquarters of Airbus Helicopters in Germany and the second largest site worldwide. Not only the H135 and H145 are developed, produced and marketed here,

but also the Tiger UHT support helicopter and the NH90 transport and naval helicopter for the German armed forces and other customers. With its 800 engineers, the Donauwörth development centre is the competence centre for the helicopter technology of the future in Germany. The site is also home to the military support centre, where Bundeswehr helicopters such as the CH-53, Sea Lynx and Sea King are maintained and equipped with the latest technology. In addition to helicopter activities, Donauwörth's core competencies include the manufacturing of aircraft doors. Around 80 percent of all Airbus doors are manufactured at the site using state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.

Freie Hansestadt Bremen The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is a parliamentary republic and a partly sovereign member state in the northwest of the Federal Republic of Germany. Like Berlin and Hamburg, Bremen is a city-state. It consists of the two large cities (municipalities) Bremen and Bremerhaven, where more than 680,000 people live, and therefore calls itself the "two-city state of Bremen". The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is the smallest and least populous state in the Federal Republic of Germany. The state is part of the Bremen/Oldenburg metropolitan region. Location The state of Bremen lies on the lower course and estuary of the Weser. Bremerhaven also borders the North Sea to the west and surrounds the Bremerhaven overseas port area. The state of Bremen borders on the Lower Saxony districts of Osterholz, Verden, Diepholz, Wesermarsch, Cuxhaven and the city of Delmenhorst. Economy and traffic In Bremen, there is a Daimler plant, Airbus production and space technology (EADS, OHB Technology) as well as food industry (Kraft Foods, Hachez, brewery Beck & Co., Kellogg's, Melitta-Kaffee). The Bremen Chamber of Commerce (IHK) for Bremen and Bremerhaven is located in Bremer Schütting. Road traffic In the south, Bremen is touched by the federal motorway A 1 -- Hamburg with six lanes, and in the southeast, at Bremer Kreuz, the A 1 is crossed by the A 27 (Walsrode)-Bremerhaven or Cuxhaven, which also has six lanes and which leads through the eastern part of the city. In the north, the four-lane A 270 branches off from the A 27 in Ihlpohl and leads to Bremen-Farge. In Gröpelingen, the first part of the four-lane A 281 from the Bremen- Industriehäfen triangle to Bremen-Burg-Grambke is completed. On the western side of the Weser, the section from the freight traffic centre or Neustädter Hafen port to the airport or Airport City 2008 was opened to traffic with a cable-stayed bridge. In the west, the A 28 leads to Oldenburg, and it also connects the Huchting district to the A 1. In addition, the federal roads B 6 (north-south), B 74 and B 75 (west-east) run through Bremen. Rail transport The main station is a long-distance junction of station category 2, where the main lines from Hamburg to the Ruhr area, Bremerhaven, Hanover, Vegesack and Oldenburg (-Leer) meet. Bremen is integrated into the DB long-distance transport network via the Bremen-Munich ICE line and the Hamburg- and Oldenburg-Leipzig IC lines. Local public transport There are regional express connections to Bremerhaven, Hanover, Hamburg, Osnabrück and Oldenburg-Norddeich Mole and a regional train connection through the Lüneburger Heide to Uelzen (via Langwedel, Visselhövede and Soltau). The railway line to Hamburg is served by regional trains. Since 12 December 2010, the Nordwestbahn (NWB) has been operating the first three lines of the Regio-S-Bahn Bremen/Niedersachsen (RS 2: Bremerhaven-Lehe-Bremerhaven-Hbf- Bremen-Hbf-Twistringen; RS 3: Bad Zwischenahn-Oldenburg-Hbf-

Hude-Delmenhorst-Bremen-Hbf; RS 4: Nordenham-Hude-Delmenhorst-Bremen-Hbf) on behalf of the Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Bremen/Niedersachsen (ZVBN). The fourth Regio S-Bahn line went into operation on 11 December 2011 (RS 1: Bremen-Farge-Vegesack-Bremen main station Verden). Eight tram lines and 44 bus lines operated by Bremer Straßenbahn AG (BSAG) serve the local public transport system (ÖPNV) within the city area. Most districts of Bremen and individual suburbs in Lower Saxony are connected to the local public transport network with a dense cycle. For the traffic between Bremen-City and Bremen-North the railway is of great importance. Efforts are being made to extend tram lines into the surrounding area and to increase the frequency on the existing railway lines in order to better connect the suburbs. Regional transport is operated by bus lines and other transport companies and enterprises. Both municipal and regional transport companies have joined forces in the Bremen/Lower Saxony Transport Association (Verkehrsverbund Bremen/Niedersachsen - VBN). Airbus Bremen Bremen is the second largest Airbus site in Germany and is responsible for the design, manufacturing, integration and testing of high-lift systems for the wings of all Airbus aircraft programs.
