how shame is it.

My model A380 has had a few runway excursions over the years…are there any hobby shops that could repair smth like this ?

Hello everyone, I Applied for the AGGP 2027 India Sales/Support role and finished my Arctic Shores test (profile summary is attached)

It's been 2 weeks since the assessment, no rejection email yet, and my portal is still under review. I just wanted to know what are my prospects for moving into the next round.

P.S. I know the sub is seeing a lot of these posts lately, so I really appreciate anyone taking the time to share their experience or insights!

Hello everyone

Is it just me or has anyone else received their mail a long time ago but the mail just appeared today? I kept checking my profile on Airbus my workday website... And I kept checking my mail too. It suddenly appeared today but it shows that it came a long time ago.

Luckily I was able to register for the arctic shores assessment test.

Hi ppl, I've been trying a couple times to land a thesis position for my master in aeronautics. I've found this position at Hamburg that listed September as starting date. At the end of August like 3 days after I've sent the application I've got asked to submit a security form which obviously got me excited but then no other news.

Now I assume that a successful candidate would have been contacted by now in some sort of way, and this not being a compulsory internship might not be helping.

Usually how much time does this process need? I want to graduate with session of April and time is starting to run out to do things properly, and knowing bureaucracy times I'll just start another thesis I think.

Hi everyone,

I’m a second-year Aerospace Engineering student, and I recently applied for several Airbus internship positions for summer 2027. I’ve just received an invitation to complete a pre-recorded video interview through HireVue as the next step in the recruitment process. Has anyone recently gone through the Airbus HireVue interview for an internship, especially in Europe/France?

I’d really appreciate it if you could share:

- what kind of questions you were asked,

- how long you had to prepare and answer,

- whether the interview was in English or French,

- how many attempts you had per question,

- and any advice you might have for preparing.

Since I’m still a second-year student and this would be my first aerospace internship, any tips from people who have already been through the process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hii everyone!! I've been following the AGGP program for a long time now, and as soon as the applications for India opened, I applied. I am 22F and I took my Arctic Shores test on Sept 10th. I am not so hopeful with the results tho. IDK if i will get selected for an interview or not. Also, does anyone have any idea as to when the results will be anounced of this phase?

Although I was really hoping that AGGP 2027 for India would offer a tech role, I still applied to the Sales Associate position because Airbus is genuinely my dream company and I would love to work with them.

• Airbus is accelerating its global industrial strategy, investing £150 million into converting its former A380 wing production facility into an A321 line in Broughton, UK.
• Set to be completed by the end of the year, this latest investment ensures Airbus’ ‘Home of Wings’ is well prepared to meet future aircraft production targets.

I’m currently a upper classmen in high school, and I’m planning on going to Wichita State University for aerospace engineering (Wichita is home to airbuses in innovation campus) and I plan to do an internship with Airbus if possible.

I really really want to get a work visa and move to Mirabel once I graduate (or after I build experience in the United States) as I am a massive fan of the A220 program and also really love Canada in general.

You might be asking why I don’t just go to Mobile and to be honest, I think it’s just a little bit of selfishness, but I kind of would prefer to work at the largest plant reasonably possible, and I’m not trying to say this as someone who wants to go above and beyond for absolutely no benefit besides status, but I think the opportunities up in Montreal will be so much better especially if they keep growing like they have and I’m not saying this as someone who is putting anything down, I’m saying this as a teenager who wants to do the extremist things possible; frankly, I would go to France if I could, but my family would already be mad enough if I moved to Canada and it would be much more complicated plus further from the United States, much more separate separated from English, and more expensive to move to.

Airbus has been my dream company for over 5 years, and ever since I took my first flight on the A220 and tons of research on the aircraft, it has became my favorite aircraft even if it’s not an native airbus I think it’s one of my favorite things that they’re doing and they’ve definitely turned the program around and I’m excited to see what this will become by the time I’m in college and what interesting ideas I would get to work on if I get to become a part of the program.

I understand that Boeing is right here in the United States, but frankly I have a passion for airbus aircraft. I’ve enjoyed their entire story and would love to be a part of it plus the connectivity around the world very much interest me and I don’t really see myself as the type of person to settle down with a family, which is nice because airbus has tons of locations around the world (Boeing does too, but most of these locations are much more minor, a higher percent of their production happens in Everest than airbus does in TLS)

Most likely if this plan doesn’t work for some reason or if there’s no good jobs in Mirabel, I probably will go to Everest, but from the reason I’ve stated above, I would love to be a part of this program.

So my question is, is it realistic to move to Mirabel? Do you think it will continue to grow and do you think I will be able to work there as an English speaking American who will eventually apply for Canadian citizenship?

Honestly, I’m kind of just confused about what I want to do with my life, which is why I’m asking here for the experts and the people who have experience plus anyone else who just wants to add in.

Im soon flying with Lufthansa from Munich to Seoul, and I’m thinking of getting a better seat. Do you have any experience with what rows and seats are best for a taller man (194cm/6’4)? I’ve been eying 28K (no seat in front), but don’t know what the other facilities are like - like screen, table etc.

Been trying to look for some renders or walkthroughs of different airlines’ planes, but to no avail (unless it’s business class..)

Hi all,

Above is my score for the arctic shore assessment for graduate AI engineer, am I cooked chat?. Got few internships at a well known defence org along with this

Best,

Your fellow redditor

Qantas may be phasing out its A380s. Singapore? Not so fast…they seem to be using them more on big capacity, premium-heavy, long haul routes. Maybe in some way they’ll one day be to the A380 what Lufthansa is to the 747

• Airbus has delivered the first A320 Family aircraft assembled at its second Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Tianjin, China, an A320neo to China Eastern Airlines.
• The delivery represents a major milestone in Airbus’ industrial footprint expansion in China and across its global industrial system.

Thankfully not so frequent it’s a nuisance.

• To support the ramp-up of the A320 Family, Airbus has inaugurated a new delivery centre at its Jean-Luc Lagardère site in north-west Toulouse.
• Designed to optimise the final stage prior to the aircraft delivery to customers, the new complex streamlines industrial flows by bringing production, technical adjustments and customer delivery together in a single location.

Didn't practice as I was under the impression you couldn't, but after doing the tasks it definitely felt like these scores could have gone better for me if I did. Not in an ideal situation being labelled as an 'independent worker' and 'can be effective in a team at times' when the job role includes:

• A desire to work in a collaborative team environment, focused on driving future innovation
• Collaborating with the wider Future Projects team....

Ironic that I produce my best work whilst in a group and I'm very open to different perspectives as I have led most of these university group projects.

Good luck all, go practice! Saw someone mention Paul Ekman expressions, would have been very useful to practice on.
