Making safe aircraft is part of our professional DNA at Airbus, and our commitment to providing support for the safety of Airbus aircraft in operation applies for as long as an aircraft is in service. We recognise that the safety of a flight means our aircraft must not only be safely designed, tested and built, but also safely maintained and flown by trained Operators in a safe environment.
