Airbus was founded in 1970 by aviation pioneers from France, Germany and Spain. It is headquartered in Toulouse, France and is a global leader in the aerospace industry. Airbus developed the A300, its first commercial aircraft, in the 1970s. It has since expanded its product line and built manufacturing facilities across Europe and in China and the United States. Airbus transports large aircraft sections between factories using a dedicated fleet of cargo planes called Beluga as well as sea transportation.

53. Also expanding Airbus manufacturing efficiency is
the company-developed transportation system for
airlift of the large, pre-assembled jetliner sections
from their production sites to the assembly
facilities. In addition to a dedicated fleet of five
A300-600ST Super Transporters – nicknamed
“Beluga” – which features one of the largest cargo
hold area of any civil or military aircraft in service,
Airbus also uses sea/water transportation methods,
including for A380 components.
