The three partners intend to acquire 100% of Aubert & Duval through a new joint holding company that would be specifically set up for this transaction and in which they would have equal ownership rights. On 1 April 2022, a change took effect related to the Company’s Defence and Space Division programme lines. Airbus Defence & Space integrated the programme lines Unmanned Aerial Systems and Military Aircraft into a single business line. The name of the new programme line is Military Air Systems.

Following the imposition of export control restrictions and sanctions by the EU, the UK, the US and other countries that are relevant to the Company's business after Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the Company announced in March 2022 it has suspended the delivery of aircraft and support services to Russian customers, as well as the supply of spare parts, equipment and software to Russia. The Company is complying with all applicable regulations and sanctions to its facilities and operations in Russia. See “– Risk Factors – Business-Related Risks – Ukraine Crisis.”
