The last Social and Economic Committee (SEC) was held on September 26, 2025, you will find below the main points to remember.
Commercial Situation Airbus Commercial Aircraft at the end of August 2025
Since the beginning of the year, Airbus recorded 600 gross orders (43% market share) compared to 725 gross orders for Boeing (52% market share) and 60 gross orders for Embraer (4% market share)
Airbus' order book is 8,758 aircrafts, including 7,663 Single Aisle and 1065 Wide Body, compared to 6,539 aircrafts for Boeing, or respectively 57% and 43% market share.
Concerning deliveries, Airbus delivered 434 aircrafts at the end of August compared to 385 aircrafts for Boeing, or respectively 51% and 49% of deliveries.
As a reminder, the delivery target for 2025 is set at 820 aircraft.
Accidentology Airbus SAS - FR1 (Airbus Déclaration)
Since the beginning of 2025, six work accidents with stoppage were recorded, 78 commuting accidents have been recorded, 53 by bicycle/scooter, 21 of which resulted in work stoppage.
Consequently, the accident frequency rate over the last 12 rolling months is for the Airbus SAS scope is:
0.47 for the FR1 rate for the Airbus SAS perimeter at the end of August 2025
1,52 for the FR1 rate for the Airbus Commercial Aircraft perimeter at the end of August 2025
As a reminder, 6 accidents were recorded in 2024
For the year 2025, the global accidentology shows
45 Work Accidents (AT) with stoppage
39 AT without stoppage
71 minor AT or first aid
203 almost accidents
The Airbus Commercial objective for the year 2025 has been set at 1.40 and the Airbus SAS 2024 objective 0.5
As a reminder, the FR1 rate taken into account for the calculation of the incentive bonus is that of the ACA (Airbus Commercial Aircraft) scope.
Information on organizational developments within the Training Center (ST)
The Training Management presented us with the new ST (Services, attached to HO Flight Ops & Training) organization of Airbus Commercial Aircraft.
This reorganization aims to adapt the structure to market challenges and strategic objectives and is motivated by several factors, including the expansion of the global training network and training offering, requiring increased standardization of processes, strengthened governance, and robust program management close to technical areas, a delay in the growth of initial training (Ab Initio) due to strong competition and process complexity to increase Airbus' delivery capacity and also the transfer of the digital product MATe/VPT (digital solution for flight training) and its commercial responsibility (P&L, sales, marketing, contracts, deployment and support) to NAVBLUE to ensure faster deployment and benefit from a flexible IT environment.
This organizational change will improve project management by disseminating project management skills in technical areas, standardize and secure the deployment of the global training strategy and improve the management of training center network operations, industrialize Ab Initio processes through better integration with Airbus processes, reallocate workloads and responsibilities within Flight Training teams to improve collaboration/efficiency and strengthen central management and governance of cross-functional activities within ST.
Following this change, the overall workforce at ST France will decrease from 428 to 423, a reduction of five positions.
An action plan will run from September 2025 to January 2026, with the following milestones:
October to December 2025: Selection period for the newly created positions and implementation of the redeployment plan. This includes the creation and publication of job descriptions (JRs), interviews, mobility monitoring,hopes & Fears workshops and RASCI workshops to define roles and governance.
January 2026: New GO LIVE organization and deployment.
FO believes that the focus should be on monitoring the 11 employees receiving mobility support, realizing the development opportunities promised by the seven new positions (including three management positions), and ensuring that internal transfers (38) are seamless for the employees concerned.
FO has also requested a transition to the CSE-E in the first quarter of 2026.
Information regarding DOA ATI activity
Management presented us the evolution and gradual reduction of ATI's (Airbus Transport International) Design Organization Approval (DOA) activity.
ATI's DOA, issued by the DGAC in 2001 and then the EASA in 2004, is a design approval distinct from that of Airbus. Its initial objective was to enable ATI to rapidly design modifications to its BST (Beluga ST) and, later, BXL (Beluga XL) aircraft to meet operational needs (addition of seats, replacement of FMS, etc.).
ATI's DOA activity increased significantly between 2021 and early 2025, mainly due to the "Second Life" project and the creation of AiBT. During this period, approximately 90% of the activity concerned AiBT's needs, including the Beluga ST. The reorientation of the DOA activity is a direct consequence of the evolution of ATI's fleet and strategy, including the withdrawal of the BST after the closure of AiBT in early 2025.
Airbus has confirmed the gradual phase-out of the Beluga BST fleet (September 2025 to mid-2027). Beyond this deadline, ATI will operate only the Beluga XL (BXL) aircraft, and therefore will no longer monitor BST modifications. Regarding future modification requirements for the Beluga XL, a case-by-case call for tenders will be made to STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) suppliers who hold DOAs.
For already certified modifications, the already certified BXL STCs from ATI's DOA will be transferred internally to Airbus (sector to be determined).
As of the end of July 2025, the DOA ATI (PITBTB) team comprised a Head of Staff and eight employees (structural/avionics or certification engineer profiles).
The social impact is reflected in a significant reduction in the DOA workforce:
The target workforce by mid-2027 is to retain only two full-time equivalents (FTEs) to specify and monitor the required modifications at BXL and maintain relationships with STC suppliers.
Two transfers have already been completed since the beginning of 2025 (to 1IAZ engineering in July and to ACJ in September).
In addition, two employees and the Head of Staff are committed to the Airframe Architect development path and are seeking internal mobility (sectors of interest: Engineering, Chief Engineering).
FO will ensure that the affected employees are guaranteed redeployment and that the positions found match their aspirations and development paths (Airframe Architect, Project Management).
Information on the deployment of LLD
The deployment of the Long-Term Bicycle Rental (LLD) service follows the group agreement on employee mobility, signed by four trade unions, including FO, on June 28, 2024.
This measure, effective from September 2025, aims to encourage the use of more environmentally friendly modes of transportation and reduce the cost of commuting.
The employee's primary commitment is to complete 80 round trips per year (i.e., 160 single trips).
Monitoring: An annual count is carried out. The Zenride app is available to report and track trips.
Accepted Justifications: Trips not completed are accepted for reasons such as sick leave, maternity/adoption leave, or accidents that make cycling impossible for more than 90 consecutive days. The number of expected trips will be reduced pro rata to the absence for contract suspensions of less than 6 months.
Penalty: In the event of non-compliance with the annual commitment, a request for return of the bicycle may be considered, along with an early return fee (or bicycle buyback).
Exit from the contract is subject to strict conditions, especially during the first year.
FO organizes webinar sessions to provide you with all the necessary details and answer all your questions. Do not hesitate to contact us on our website (Scan our QR code here below)

Status on the AGBS project and FEX teams
FEX management provided an update on the gradual transfer of administrative activities (Finance, Reward Operations, Controlling, Accounting) from FEX to Airbus GBS (Global Business Services), initially announced at the January 2022 CSE-C meeting.
The initial commitment was to ensure a smooth redeployment of employees, without forced transfers or mandatory geographic mobility. Initial Workforce: 64 FEX employees in France as of December 2021.
Current Situation: 59 employees have already been redeployed or have a future solution, representing 92% of the initial workforce, of which 53% were redeployed within the Finance function.
Target for End of 2025: Five employees remain to be redeployed by the end of 2025.
FO acknowledges the high redeployment rate (92%) but maintains vigilance over the remaining employees and the support provided. Monitoring the five employees to be redeployed by the end of 2025 is the priority.
The next SEC will be held on October, 30 2025.
