Collaboration is at the heart of the design of the new AirbusWorld Platform launched in 2020 with a completely renewed experience, a set of new services and functionalities to boost the efficiency of the Helicopters ecosystem. The single platform to share information and support activities with customers and partners has more than 40,000 users, customers, partners and employees It is embedded in our new support and services practices, keeping the proximity especially in the specific context of the COVID-19 crisis. The platform is continuously enriched with improvement, new services and new increments delivered every three months, embedding customer feedback, innovations and new standards. Google and Airbus continue to partner to further improve the functionalities of Google Workplace. 2021 has seen the improvement of of fline capabilities, of user experience on mobile devices, of automatic translation features, but also the development of the client side encryption capability, allowing end users to encrypt their most sensitive documents with Airbus encryption keys. 2022 will see further deployments in Airbus Helicopters, Airbus Defence and Space and Airbus Atlantic. Data Analysts Certification Proving that our employees are hungry to learn and develop the key skills necessary to drive our digital future, the Digital Academy continued to push for Airbus Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence certification throughout 2021 at great pace with 220 further graduates within All Airbus Divisions, functions and countries. This initiative takes the total to more than 1,000 graduates from 15 countries, across all Divisions and subsidiaries, which continues into its fifth year in 2022. In 2021, Digital, Program Cabin, Engineering and Customer Services joined together to build a platform, distributed from the ground to the Aircraft for Airlines and Entertainment Furniture Equipment providers. Many use cases will be designed and based on this platform: for instance, in-flight entertainment adoption has already started. In 2022, a minimum value product is planned to be delivered to first customers. Concluding Remarks and 2022 Challenges The collective ef fort done in 2021 by all the Company’s stakeholders let to the success of the information management simplification. It also highlighted and strengthened the value delivered to businesses and customers thanks to a more comprehensive and coordinated central value management. This effort will continue in 2022. In 2021, Airbus set the scene of the future, raising digital at the heart of the Company. In 2022, the evolution will continue with a compilation of developments and rationalisations in all digital initiatives. Starting with the DDMS programme, that will endeavour the journey to carry out more efficient production processes while also rolling out the digital landscape of the Digitally Enabled People Google Workspace Deployment Digitally Inspired New Business Connected Cabin

The next phase of our transformation journey will be to continue the stabilisation of the information management cyber security position through our continued achievements, with a focus on further enhancing coverage of cyber controls and reinforcing our cyber products in their run mode. Let’s continue to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover to the ever evolving threats and challenges. Digitally Enabled Products and Services Skywise At its origin in 2015, Skywise was launched to make the data locked in our discrete legacy systems accessible and actionable by those needing it for their day-to-day operations. Now fully industrialised, Skywise is in 2021 adopted by more than 20,000 Airbus employees, it has also become an airline favourite. Skywise is the flagship platform of the aerospace industry’s digital transformation, linking original equipment manufacturers, airline customers and aerospace suppliers. In 2021, the Company’s open aerospace data platform continued to grow despite the COVID-19 crisis, and proved how the Company’s strategy to place data at the heart of the transformation was a successful bet. With data unlocked from previous siloes, a virtuous circle has been created: with in-service data flowing back into operations and aircraft design, delivering incremental ameliorations and improvements. Data architecture ensures that data becomes the single source of truth powering the Company’s operations and products, transforming the Company into a more fact-based, agile, empowered and data-driven organisation. Building on the successful industrial use cases, Airbus initiated the implementation of its Airbus data product strategy that aims at supporting end-to-end business processes with an integrated data flow, recreating hence the digital continuity for Airbus legacy programmes. This effort is paving the way for DDMS digital continuity framework. Every airline or supplier reported improvement to their workflows and operations after adopting Skywise. With more than 140 airlines now using Skywise, based on their testimonials we estimate that Skywise has saved the airline industry at least US$ 200 million a year and has accelerated their return-to- service across their entire fleets. 2021 was also the year of the launch of Skywise Store and the 3 rd party Applications Editor programmes, enabling airlines to benefit from value propositions of Airbus as well as other independent applications vendors. Furthermore, 2021 was the year of Digital Alliance expansion with new members. This exponential growth was sustained because Skywise was designed from the start with the right security framework, a strict data governance implementation and industrial scalability. This made it possible to start small and then scale up. The technology partner’s world-leading capabilities in data integration played a key role in the adoption; yet this exponential growth was driven by the focus on value creation and engagement with the business, more than by the technology itself. Digital Services for Helicopters Airbus Helicopters has launched a transformation plan to drastically change the customer digital journey throughout its products lifecycle and operations. A new collaborative platform was created to reinforce the link between customers, employees & partners.
