history
The predecessor Airbus Military Company SAS (AMC) was founded in January 1999 as the Airbus A400M project company. Before the execution of the production contract, the company was restructured in May 2003 as Airbus Military SL (AMSL).
In 1999 Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) was incorporated into the EADS group (European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company). In Spain it was still referred to as EADS-CASA. The EADS-CASA Military Transport Aircraft Division (MTAD) continued to be responsible for the development, production and sales of light and medium-sized transport and multi-purpose aircraft within the EADS group.
On December 16, 2008, EADS announced that the Military Transport Aircraft Division (MTAD) and Airbus Military SL (AMSL) would be integrated into Airbus SAS as a new business unit .
In February 2009, Domingo Ureña-Raso was appointed Chairman and CEO of Airbus Military. After delays and quality problems in the construction of the A400M, he was replaced by Fernando Alonso Fernández in January 2015.
On January 1, 2014, the EADS divisions Airbus Military, Astrium and Cassidian were merged to form the new Airbus Defense and Space .
