COMPANY

A consortium of French, German, Spanish and British companies, it is the 2nd-largest airplane manufacturer, after Boeing. Airbus makes the largest passenger airplanes in the world. The company is subsidized by the EU to the tune of billions, causing much friction with the United States (which funds Boeing in indirect, more insidious ways). It is a subsidiary of EADS.
