Airbus is a pan-European consortium, with significant contributions from France, Germany, Spain and the UK.
Sort of. Airbus is a division of EADS--European Aeronautics, Defense and Space. It's a big consortium of European aircraft manufacturers. Another of their divisions is Eurocopter, which makes nothing but helicopters. The Airbus division itself doesn't make them, but the company that controls Airbus does. Which is why I said they sort of do.
Even though both companies are based in france at the same airport airbus generally makes jets and are owned by eads. Airbus aircraft are made by different countries in europe eg engines and wings are made in the uk. ATR is a consortium like airbus but is a consortium with france and italy and generally make prop aircraft such as the ATR 72. ATR stands for: Aerei da Trasporto Regionale or Avions de Transport Régional
Airbus is a subsidiary of EADS (the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Compay) which was a consortium of several European aero-space companies until a 2001 merger which brought them all under one roof. Airbus manufacturing takes place at several locations in France, Germany, China, Spain and the UK. Final assembly of aircraft takes place in Toulouse, France. There are also subsidiaries in the US and in Japan. == Airbus Industrie Website: www.airbus.com
