Customer Services Customer Services’ primary mission is to secure safe and efficient aircraft operations thanks to a wide range of customer centric and value-added services. In 2021, the worldwide economy and air travel industry showed signs of traffic recovery with an average increase in the number of flight cycles of +19% vs 2020 according to IATA, however still -25% below 2019. Together with the growing aircraft operators’ appetite for solutions to further optimise, digitalise and decarbonise their operations, Airbus aftermarket saw an improvement in the demand for existing and new products and services. Here are some examples: – – Recovering number of Airbus Flight Hour Services (FHS) and cabin upgrades deals; – – Extension of the Skywise Digital Alliance with Delta Airlines to GE, offering combined fleet management solutions; – – Launch of the Mission+, an integrated solution providing pilots all information they need in one single application on a globe- centric display, including electronic navigation charts, mission management, weather depiction as well as performance and operational manuals; – – Launch of the Beluga transport services for outsized freight under the umbrella Airbus Transport International (ATI) subsidiary; – – MoU signature between Airbus the city of Chengdu and Tarmac Aerosave for the development of the first sustainable aircraft “life cycle” service centre in China. This agreement covers a range of activities from aircraft parking and storage, to maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling and recycling services for various aircraft types. In 2022, Airbus Customer Services priority will be to keep accompanying and supporting its customers in the safe and efficient return back to service and ramp-up of their activities.

To do so, a range of solutions are available to help reduce customers´ operating costs, increase aircraf t availability, and enhance the quality of their operations and passenger experience. With a worldwide network of 7,000 employees (including subsidiaries) made up of hundreds of technical specialists who provide Airbus’ customers with advice and assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week; 250 field service representatives positioned in over 100 cities worldwide for on-site assistance to our operators and system of empowered local teams in Asia, Africa, China the Middle East and the US; Airbus targets to remain at the forefront of the industry. To succeed in this context, Airbus Customer Services will continue working on the transformation plan started before the crisis through optimisation and simplification of our products and further industrialisation of activities to decrease costs and increase efficiency; becoming a relevant contributor to the financial success of Airbus. Aircraft Leasing Trading and Financing Airbus favours cash sales, and does not envisage customer financing as an area of business development. However, Airbus recognises the commercial need for manufacturers to assist customers in arranging financing of new aircraft purchases, and in certain cases to also participate in the financing, particularly during a time of crisis. Extension of credit or assumption of exposure is subject to corporate oversight and monitoring, and follows strict standards of discipline and caution. Airbus’ dedicated customer finance team has accumulated decades of expertise in aircraft finance. When Airbus finances a customer, the financed aircraft generally serves as collateral, with the engine manufacturer participating in the financing. These elements assist in reducing the risk borne by Airbus. The difference between the gross exposure resulting from the financing and the collateral value is fully provisioned for
