Which city is Airbus’s global headquarters in?

Airbus’s global headquarters is in Toulouse, France.

Toulouse is the principal center of Airbus’s corporate leadership and major commercial-aircraft activity. The city has been closely connected with European aviation since the postwar era and is home to important Airbus design, assembly and testing operations.

Airbus has a geographically distributed industrial structure rather than a single-country manufacturing system. Major sites include Hamburg in Germany, Getafe near Madrid in Spain, Broughton in the United Kingdom and several facilities across France. Aircraft components often move between these locations before final assembly.

Toulouse is also the final-assembly location for several important Airbus aircraft families, including the A320 family and A350. Hamburg is another major final-assembly site, especially for A320-family aircraft, so it is sometimes mistaken for the company headquarters. Airbus’s registered office is in Leiden, Netherlands, while its operational global headquarters is in Toulouse.
