3. History Airbus Industrie  began as a consortium of European aviation firms to compete with American companies such as Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and  Lockheed. in 1991, Jean Pierson, then CEO and Managing Director of Airbus Industrie , described a number of factors which explained the dominant position of American aircraft manufacturers.

4. At the 1965  European airlines informally discussed their requirements for a new "airbus" capable of transporting 100 or more passengers to medium distances at a low cost.

5. Airbus's vision for "smarter skies" These are five-fold : Eco-climb   –. Since planes use so much power to leave the ground, the idea is to source that power from devices on the ground, rather than have them weighing down the plane. Then you could shorten the runways and lighten the aircraft. Express skyways   –In Airbus's example, three aircraft heading east from Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco would meet over Utah and fly onwards together. Planes could also reduce the distances they have to fly if they take direct routes between A and B, rather than zig-zagging .

6. Free-glide approaches and landings  – with better air-traffic management planes would be able to glide smoothly into airports, as opposed to descending in stages and wasting energy . Ground operations  – "autonomous receiving vehicles" that would get planes from runway to gate faster are among the ideas for improving operations at the airport . Power  - biofuels and other alternative sources of energy would reduce CO2 emissions and improve the security of energy supply.

7. Quality policy Delivering aircraft on time, on cost and on quality – getting it right first time – drives Airbus policy with safety as number one priority in the design, building and performance of its aircraft . Safety, reliability, comfort and maintenance costs are key areas where quality is crucial in an airline’s judgment of an aircraft. Before an aircraft achieves its final type certificate it must undergo around 1,200 hours of test flying .

9. AIRBUS IN INDIA Airbus’ industrial cooperation with India began in 1988 when an agreement was reached with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to manufacture passenger doors for the A320 aircraft. Today, Indian companies – and over 1,500 Indian employees – contribute to virtually all Airbus aircraft programmes . 

10. AIRBUS IN CHINA China is poised to become one of the world’s largest aviation markets, and it already is a major geographical region for Airbus – with more than 800 aircraft in service with Chinese airlines as of June 2012 The country also is home to a growing number of Airbus manufacturing and support operations – including its first assembly line outside of Europe.

11. STRONG TIES TO CHINESE MANUFACTURERS Airbus not only values its relationship with airlines in China, it also appreciates the enormous potential offered by Chinese industry. Currently, over half the Airbus fleet in service worldwide has parts produced by Chinese companies with whom Airbus already enjoys strong relations.

12. A STRATEGY OF PARTNERSHIPS Airbus also seeks to form new industrial partnerships whenever possible. For example, the A318 is the first new Airbus aircraft developed with support from a Chinese engineering team.
