About the company

Airbus

Company overview
Airbus is a global aerospace company that designs and manufactures commercial aircraft and also operates businesses spanning helicopters, defence, space, and related services. Airbus employs 156,921 people (end of 2024), reflecting the scale of the engineering, manufacturing, and digital workforce behind aircraft and mission systems. Airbus runs large early-career pipelines across multiple countries, covering apprenticeships, internships, placement years, and a two-year global graduate programme.

Locations and presence

Airbus operates across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, with major footprints in core aerospace manufacturing and engineering hubs, plus a large UK presence (11,000+ employees across 27 sites). Working setup varies by role, but Airbus publicly markets hybrid and flexible options for many office-based roles, alongside on-site requirements for manufacturing and hands-on engineering work.

Palpable Score

77.3
/ 100
Airbus is one of the more accessible large employers for early-career talent because Airbus runs multiple structured entry routes and publishes real program detail, not just marketing. The main gap is that pay is not consistently transparent on official early-career pages, and the company does not publish cohort outcomes like conversion rates or time-to-promotion.
