Airbus is one of the largest commercial aircraft manufacturers in the world. The company has always been heavily involved in the aviation industry, leading the world in the production of helicopters for years. However, in the late 2010s, Airbus surpassed its rival Boeing as the world’s biggest manufacturer of commercial airliners. Since the company was founded in 1970, Airbus has introduced a wide variety of aircraft that encompass the entirety of commercial aircraft offerings.
