Airbus steps up global recruitment for aircraft ramp-up

To support its commercial aircraft ramp-up, meet challenges in defence, space and helicopters, Airbus says it intends to recruit more than 13,000 people globally in 2023.

Around 7,000 of these will be newly created posts across the company. The new positions will be instrumental in supporting the OEM’s industrial ramp-up and Airbus’ ambitious decarbonisation roadmap and preparing the future of aviation.

“In 2022 we welcomed more than 13,000 new employees within Team Airbus around the world, in a complex environment which tested our resilience and attractiveness as a global employer." said Thierry Baril, chief human resources and workplace officer of Airbus. "Following the success of our recruitment last year, we will hire over 13,000 employees again  in 2023. We call on talented individuals from all over the world to join us in our journey to make sustainable aerospace a reality and to help us build a better, more diverse and inclusive workplace for all our employees.”

The new recruitment drive will be worldwide, with emphasis on technical and manufacturing profiles, as well as acquisition of new skills supporting the company's long-term vision, in areas such as new energies, cyber and digital.

Over 9,000 of the posts will be in Europe, and the rest throughout Airbus’ global network. A third of the total recruitment will be allocated to recent graduates.

Airbus currently employs more than 130,000 people across its businesses worldwide. It was recently awarded Top Employers certification in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific by the Top Employers Institute, a global independent authority on recognising excellence in people management and HR policies.
