EADS global footprint (world map)
Europe – 43 % of group revenues

Revenue: 17,176 €m

EADS leverages Europe’s capabilities and competitiveness. The transformation of Airbus will lead to a renewal of the European spirit in our industry. On the defence side, EADS’ future growth will be strongly supported by the ongoing ramp-up of truly European programmes such as the A400M transport aircraft, NH90 and Tiger helicopters or the Eurofi ghter combat aircraft. All internationalisation efforts are designed to open up the most attractive markets while the Group continues to develop its industrial base in Europe.

The pace and breadth of EADS North America’s business activities has increased. The Group achieved an important step in its US growth strategy when it was selected as prime contractor for the LUH military helicopter programme. The company is also actively competing for two major military programmes. Together with strong US partners, EADS North America is offering the world’s most advanced tanker aircraft to the US forces and competing for the Joint Cargo Aircraft programme.

Within Asia-Pacific, the region with the highest growth potential, countries like China, India and South Korea are of high priority for EADS’ global development. In joint projects such as the EC 175 the KHP helicopter development or the set-up of an A320 Family Final Assembly Line in China, EADS has teamed with high-quality local partners combining industrial capabilities with market know-how. To become a committed citizen in these key markets is a prerequisite for participating in their growth.

Widespread business successes in other growth regions provide the basis for EADS’ further internationalisation. In the military transport aircraft business, the Group has a strong position in the Latin American market. South Africa is a partner in the A400M programme, and EADS continuously broadens its cooperation with the very capable Russian aerospace industry, both in the freighter conversion business and in research and development.
