Airbus is a leading aircraft manufacturer with a family of airliners on the market ranging in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats. Airbus, like other aerospace manufacturers, faces a number of challenges and urgent priorities: reducing programme costs and compressing product development schedules while producing lighter aircraft, which in turn reduce fuel requirements and costs, optimizing payload and maintaining and enhancing performance.
