About the company

Airbus is a aerospace and defence organization. Its current public materials identify Commercial Aircraft, Airbus Helicopters, Airbus Defence and Space as useful ways to understand its activities. Airbus publishes three major businesses and separately names their chief executives on its current executive committee page; these divisions explain the group more clearly than one generic aerospace ladder.

This QueryChart tree puts those disclosed areas next to a single, separately marked leadership branch for Guillaume Faury. The business branches describe a public portfolio, not a confidential employee hierarchy. A line between a category and an offering means the offering belongs in that published category; it does not say that a particular executive personally manages every team shown.

Published businesses and operating areas

Commercial Aircraft is one of the visible areas in Airbus's published structure. Led by Lars Wagner, this business develops, builds and supports Airbus commercial aircraft programs. The editable chart places Aircraft programs and Commercial aircraft services beneath this branch so a reader can find concrete activities instead of a generic departmental box. This is a simplified grouping of disclosed work, and the sources below should be used for the exact legal entities, segment definitions and current management roles.

Airbus Helicopters is one of the visible areas in Airbus's published structure. Led by Matthieu Louvot, this division covers civil and military rotorcraft and associated services. The editable chart places Civil helicopters and Military helicopters beneath this branch so a reader can find concrete activities instead of a generic departmental box. This is a simplified grouping of disclosed work, and the sources below should be used for the exact legal entities, segment definitions and current management roles.

Airbus Defence and Space is one of the visible areas in Airbus's published structure. Led by Michael Schoellhorn, this division brings together defence and space offerings. The editable chart places Defence systems and Space systems beneath this branch so a reader can find concrete activities instead of a generic departmental box. This is a simplified grouping of disclosed work, and the sources below should be used for the exact legal entities, segment definitions and current management roles.

How this structure supports the business

The Commercial Aircraft and Airbus Helicopters branches answer different questions about Airbus. Led by Lars Wagner, this business develops, builds and supports Airbus commercial aircraft programs. Led by Matthieu Louvot, this division covers civil and military rotorcraft and associated services. Showing them side by side is more informative than drawing an unsupported chain of managers, particularly when the public materials report a portfolio or service line rather than a complete internal org chart.

Airbus publishes three major businesses and separately names their chief executives on its current executive committee page; these divisions explain the group more clearly than one generic aerospace ladder. Led by Michael Schoellhorn, this division brings together defence and space offerings. The diagram makes that distinguishing feature visible while keeping the named leadership layer separate. It is useful as a starting point for an editable company chart; users can replace the public groupings with their own teams, roles and verified reporting relationships.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Commercial Aircraft branch uses a publicly described company-specific grouping.

A portfolio branch does not prove an individual reporting line.

The chart distinguishes Airbus Helicopters from Airbus Defence and Space.

A single-parent tree cannot show every cross-business collaboration or legal-entity link.
