What It Means to Be an Authorized Supplier of Airbus Products
Being an authorized supplier of Airbus products means a company has been officially approved to provide parts, components, or services that meet Airbus’s strict standards for quality, safety, and compliance.
Here’s what that typically involves:
Formal Approval Certification
The supplier must go through Airbus’s qualification process, which includes audits of manufacturing processes, quality systems (often aligned with aerospace standards like AS9100), and regulatory compliance. Approval isn’t automatic—it’s earned and periodically reviewed.
Direct or Approved Supply Chain Role
Authorized suppliers may:
- Manufacture parts used in Airbus aircraft
- Distribute genuine Airbus parts
- Provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.
- They’re recognized as part of Airbus’s official supply network.
Quality & Traceability Requirements
Every part must be fully traceable—from raw materials to final delivery. Suppliers must maintain detailed documentation and ensure components meet aviation safety regulations set by authorities like European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Ongoing Compliance Audits
Authorization isn’t permanent. Airbus regularly audits suppliers to ensure they continue to meet performance, safety, and delivery standards.
Use of Airbus Branding & Claims
Authorized suppliers can legitimately market themselves as approved by Airbus, which signals credibility and reliability in the aerospace industry.
