Testimonials

  • Anna, Landing Gear Flight Physics Integration Engineer in Filton

    While I was a student at university, I had the opportunity to meet some Airbus representatives during a career event. Their description of a typical day at work at Airbus convinced me that that was where I wanted to be. And 15 years later, here I am - sharing my pride in being part of the company!

    Aside from the aircraft, what I like most about my job is the people I work with! I consider myself beyond fortunate to be able to work with wonderful colleagues who are always helpful and keen to support my pursuit of knowledge, skills and experience.
