"The Airbus Group is a European multinational aerospace and defence
corporation and contractor worldwide" The company was originally formed as the
European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) on 10 July 2000 by the
merger of Aérospatiale-Matra, DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG (DASA), and
Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA). The company developed and marketed civil
and military aircraft, as well as communications systems, missiles, space
rockets, satellites, and related systems. On 31 July 2013, it was reported that
EADS was to be renamed in 2014 to Airbus Group, adopting the name of its
commercial aircraft-building subsidiary, which had become its most important
revenue generator. In January 2014, EADS was reorganised as Airbus Group, with
three divisions (Airbus, Airbus Defence and Space, and Airbus Helicopters).
