Benoît Schultz successfully steered the A220 Programme and the growth of Airbus' presence in Canada since his nomination in 2021.

Over the last few years, Airbus has become a leading aerospace company in Canada and an employer of choice while the A220 Programme gained the resilience and maturity to be the most successful small single-aisle on the market for the years to come.
In his new role, Guillaume will lead the organization as it moves into the final production ramp up phase and, hence, en route to achieving profitability.
