Which country owns Airbus?

Airbus is not owned by a single country, but rather is co-owned by two entities.

Airbus Ownership Structure

The ownership of Airbus is divided between:

  • European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS): This is a German-French-Spanish company and holds the majority stake at 80%.
  • BAE Systems: A British company, holds the remaining 20% of Airbus.
Owner Percentage Ownership
European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) (German-French-Spanish) 80%
BAE Systems (British) 20%



Thus, Airbus is not owned by any one country, but rather by a consortium including companies from multiple European countries.
