The Group employs a workforce of around 130,000 people in nearly 180 locations around the world. Airbus offers the most comprehensive range of airliners from 100 to more than 600 seats. Airbus is also a European leader providing tanker, combat, transportation and mission aircraft, as well as Europe‘s number one space enterprise and the world‘s second largest space business. In helicopters, Airbus provides the most efficient civil and military rotorcraft solutions worldwide. Increase in revenue in billions of euros +145+176% % 24.2 67.0 2000 2017 In 2017, Airbus generated revenues of € 66.8 billion. Thus, the group has more than doubled its business volume since its formation in 2000. Orders totalling over € 1,800 billion since 2000 saw the Group’s backlog of orders increase by more than fivefold to € 997 billion by the end of 2017. 04 Airbus in Germany Worldwide growth thanks to European best performance Since the group’s formation, the number of employees has increased by 52%. In the home countries of Germany, France, Great Britain and Spain alone, the number of employees has increased by 30,000 since the formation of Airbus (EADS) in 2000. Today, the bulk of the order volume comes from markets outside Europe. In 2017, Airbus’ home markets accounted for around 7% of new orders. The Group faces a trend of increasing internationalisation with a growing global presence. Examples include the final assembly lines in Tianjin (China) and in Mobile, Alabama (USA). In addition, Airbus manufactures helicopters in Brazil, maintains research centres in Singapore, India, the US, China and Russia, and operates maintenance, repair and overhaul centres on five continents. In late 2017, Airbus announced that it would establish its Airbus China Innovation Centre (ACIC) in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, widely considered to be the Silicon Valley of China. 90% 10% 2017 Total: 129,442 Home countries: 116,560 Employees Airbus in Germany 05 Airbus home countries: Germany, France Great Britain, and Spain Airbus home countries 7% 93% 2017 Total: €157.7 billion Home countries: €11.1 billion Order intake 06 Airbus in Germany Strong roots in Germany Airbus is one of the most innovative and successful companies in the aerospace and defence industry. Airbus’ strong German roots provide significant impetus for growth and competitiveness – for the Group as well as for Germany as an industrial location. Airbus is represented in 27 locations throughout Germany.

Since its formation in 2000, the number of employees in Germany has risen by more than 11,000 – a trend that is continuing. In Germany, almost 1,350 early career positions were filled in 2017 – internships, work placement positions and final theses. Every year, 600 new apprentices and dual students are recruited. In total, almost 1,900 apprentices and dual students are employed in more than 10 locations. Airbus as a powerhouse for the economy In 2017, Airbus generated revenues of around € 4.7 billion in Germany. The group worked together with more than 10,000 external suppliers in Germany and bought goods and services worth € 8.3 billion in 2017. Airbus as a pioneer of innovation With cumulative self-financed research and development investments exceeding € 30 billion since 2000, the company has expanded its portfolio of patents to more than 37,000. Additionally in 2017, Airbus invested € 2.8 billion in research and development. The focus is on environmentally friendly technologies such as alternative drive systems, lightweight construction and 3D printing. Another multiplier for innovative ideas is cooperation with partners from research and SMEs (for example, the Centre for Applied Aeronautical Research in Hamburg, the CFK Valley Stade and the Ludwig Bölkow Campus in Ottobrunn near Munich).

Half a dozen new megacities will be built by then, and old metropolises will continue to grow. Urban planners are also faced with the task of enabling mobility in these giant cities in the future. Airbus is working on revolutionary concepts to revolutionise mass transit. The goal is to simply fly over the traffic jam. Airbus innovation centres around the globe are generating ground-breaking ideas. In order to accelerate the topic in its corporate’s research, Airbus has founded „Urban Air Mobility“. There, among other things, further research is being conducted into the technological requirements for unmanned aerial systems. Under the project name „Vahana“, the Group’s own A3 think tank in Silicon Valley has been developing an autonomous aircraft since 2016 that is intended to transport individual passengers or cargo using the car-sharing principle. The customer orders an airplane using an app, gets in the plane at the nearest landing site and flies to their destination. Flight tests have already been carried out with the first prototype. Airbus Helicopters in Donauwörth has been advancing a similar project for about two years. The „CityAirbus“ is intended to carry up to four people who have previously ordered a seat via the app. A journey will cost little more than a taxi ride. Already in 2018, the first prototype will fly – first with a pilot, and later autonomously. In addition, Airbus Heli- copters and the Civil Avia- tion Authority of Singapore have successfully tested a drone-based parcel delivery service over urban areas. The service is offered on the campus of the National University of Singapore. The results will serve as a decision- making tool for govern- ments around the world to further develop drone regulations. Concept vehicle Pop.Up Airbus in Germany 11 Eco-efficiency through innovation Through the introduction of new techno- logies and operational improvements, the aviation industry has, over the past 50 years, achieved the following goals: increasing fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 70 percent, reducing NOx emissions by 90 percent, and reducing noise pollution by 75 per- cent. By 2020, air traffic is to be CO2- neutral worldwide and by 2050, CO2 emissions should have gone down by 75%. This will only be possible with state-of-the-art technology and efficient aircraft. For example, with the A350 XWB, Airbus is setting new standards in terms of CO2 and noise emissions: the aircraft consumes 25 percent less fuel thanks to a high percentage of carbon fibres and innovative aerodynamics. New technologies ensure that the A350 XWB will reduce the current noise limits by up to 16 decibels. Ten decibels less corresponds
