Overview of Airbus Group's Presence and Activities in Mexico
In recent years, Airbus has expanded its presence in Mexico by working more closely with the country on supplier contracts and manufacturing.
Airbus Group has been present in Mexico for more than three decades, during which time it has developed diverse activities in both aircraft sales (the group's activity in Mexico began in civil aviation with Mexicana de Aviación) and helicopter sales (the first helicopters it sold here were for presidential use during President Charles de Gaulle's visit in 1964). Airbus has increased its footprint in Mexico in recent years by collaborating more closely with the country through supplier contracts and manufacturing.
The company is divided into three divisions: Airbus, which focuses on commercial airplanes, Helicopters, which focuses on helicopters, and Defence and Space. The company's primary activities are commercial and supply. First, the company is focused on aircraft sales, with customers including three of Mexico's four major airlines (Interjet, Volaris, and VivaAerobus).
