AIRBUS IN AFRICA

 3. Airbus in Africa and the Middle East
 4. Airbus in Africa

Airbus' presence in Africa is as diverse as the continent itself. For nearly
five decades our commercial airliners, helicopters, military aircraft and
satellites have been providing reliable and efficient service and solutions to
customers across the continent.

THE GREAT ENABLER: AEROSPACE IN AFRICA

Airbus underscored the important role aerospace technologies play in Africa’s
socio-economic development with a special “white paper” report called “The Great
Enabler: Aerospace in Africa.”

COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT



Airbus has been present in Africa for nearly 50 years. Over the last decades,
Africa’s aviation sector has gone through significant improvements.This includes
the creation of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) as well as the
modernisation of fleets by national airlines.  

African carriers are increasingly aware of the operational and economic benefits
of acquiring new and modern Airbus aircraft. Today African carriers have chosen
to operate some of the most technologically advanced aircraft such as the A350,
A330neo, A320neo and the A220.

HELICOPTERS



There are over 500 Airbus helicopters currently in service throughout
Africa, providing a range of both military and civil roles including law
enforcement, air ambulance search & rescue, anti-poaching, infrastructure
inspection, tourism and corporate missions.  

Airbus is broadening and deepening its presence through its regional subsidiary,
Airbus Helicopters Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd, which offers aircraft assembly,
completions, maintenance, engineering and training.

DEFENCE



Airbus is a strong defence partner in Africa by offering interoperable and
collaborative solutions to ensure superiority for combat systems across the five
operational domains: land, air, sea, space and cyber.

Today, nearly 95 light and medium tactical aircraft (C212, CN235 and C295) have
been delivered to 20 African nations from all over the continent. The Egyptian
Air Force is the largest operator of C295s worldwide, having ordered 24 of the
military aircraft for its great suitability and performance in the rugged
country’s hot and dusty conditions.

SPACE



In Africa, Airbus offers a wide portfolio of Earth observation satellite
capabilities and services to governments and institutions, including the South
African National Space Agency. Numerous Airbus satellites provide coverage and
enable crucial communications services across the region, such as the Nilesat
for Egypt and the ALSAT 2A & 2B for Algeria.

In the Kingdom of Morocco, Airbus has the satellite prime contractor role for
the MOHAMMED VI-A Earth observation satellite. While supplying the platform and
the ground segment for mission planning and satellite control, Airbus handles
all integrated and comprehensive services and capabilities for the satellite. 

Working with the Namibia University of Science & Technology, Airbus has
established a virtual space data centre to provide geo-intelligence services to
Namibia’s government departments, state agencies and private-sector customers.


MADE IN AFRICA

 

Airbus’ inclusive approach to commercial and industrial opportunities is founded
on collaboration and the establishment of mutually beneficial long-term public
and private sector partnerships. 

Today, Airbus' supply chain in Africa represents more than 100 direct or
indirect suppliers for products and services that range from design engineering,
manufacturing of aero-structures and components to composites.

In both Morocco and Tunisia, Airbus suppliers and Airbus subsidiary Airbus
Atlantic (previously known as STELIA Aerospace) utilise a highly skilled
workforce while taking advantage of the proximity to Europe to source a mix of
machined composite, electrical and assembled components across all Airbus
programmes.

South Africa’s aerospace industry is a major supplier of parts, components and
sub-assemblies that are incorporated across the Airbus product range.
