Airbus is the catalog's umbrella builder profile for Airbus-branded and Airbus-group aerospace systems. It connects the archive to a broad European industrial base that spans commercial aviation, military aviation, rotorcraft, and space equipment.

The modern group traces its roots to late-1960s European collaboration, then expanded through the 2000 EADS merger and the later return to the Airbus name.
