Biography | Guillaume Faury — First Morning as Airbus CEO on the Wings Campus

The board named him in October. The title changed in April, at Blagnac. On 8 October 2018 the board of Airbus SE selected Guillaume Faury to succeed Tom Enders. Reuters, the Associated Press, and Aviation International News all dated the announcement that Monday. Enders stayed until the annual general meeting on 10 April 2019. That was the day Faury became chief executive and an executive member of the board. He had already run the commercial-aircraft business from February 2018, after Fabrice Brégier left. The legal seat of Airbus SE is a post-office box in Leiden. The working headquarters he walked into is the Wings Campus beside Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. Tom Enders had opened that campus in June 2016, replacing split operational offices in Paris and Munich. Airbus lists the French main office as the B80 building, 2 rond-point Émile Dewoitine, 31703 Blagnac. OpenStreetMap draws that roundabout at about 43.6254 north, 1.3826 east. A few hundred metres away, 1 rond-point Maurice Bellonte remains the published address of the commercial-aircraft headquarters. The company re-appointed Faury in 2022 and again in 2025. This pin is the first morning the group title matched the Blagnac campus. It is not a current-desk locator. The public circuit is the airport perimeter and the published campus, not private floors.
