De Airbus Group is zijn bedrijfsonderdeel opnieuw aan het indelen. Alleen de vliegtuigtak blijft zoals hij is. Airbus Helicopters maakt en verkoopt zowel civiele al militaire heli’s. Het is één van de drie onderdelen van de Airbus Group (naast Airbus en Airbus Defense & Space).
Airbus Group (eerst EADS) maakt gebruik van de bekendheid van de naam ‘Airbus’. Airbus Helicopters kan hier nu ook gebruik van maken.
This rebranding works hand in hand with our ongoing transformation, which is now bolstered by the Airbus brand’s strong foundation in innovation, quality and industrial excellence”
Zegt Guillaume Faury, president van Airbus Helicopters.
