As France’s third-largest industrial site, Marignane has been at the heart of Airbus Helicopters’ development for more than 80 years. With 12 000 people on site and 200 suppliers across Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, it’s also an innovation hub where we’re working on the future of vertical flight through projects such as renewable fuels and electric hybrid aerospace technology. Airbus Helicopters is committed to the industrial transformation of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region through the modernization, decarbonization, and digitalization of its site in Marignane.
