Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) has appointed Matthieu Louvot Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Airbus Helicopters, effective 1 April 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He will report to Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury and be part of the Company\u2019s Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

Matthieu Louvot, currently Executive Vice-President Strategy for Airbus, will succeed Bruno Even, who has decided to leave the Company to pursue his next personal and professional objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply grateful for Bruno\u2019s leadership at the helm of Airbus Helicopters over the past eight years. Under his tenure, the Division expanded its product portfolio, transformed its industrial system and has been placed on a sustainable and profitable growth trajectory. I respect Bruno\u2019s decision to step down and explore new avenues for the next phase of his career,\u201d said Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO. \u201cOur teams at Helicopters will benefit from the leadership of Matthieu, whose extensive experience in the helicopter industry and broad knowledge of the Division\u2019s operational and strategic priorities will enable a smooth transition. I wish him every success in the role and look forward to seeing Airbus Helicopters reach new heights under his lead.\u201d<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale d\u2019Administration, Matthieu Louvot started his career in the French administration, including as advisor for industry at the French Presidency. He joined Airbus Helicopters in 2010 where he held a number of management positions including Executive Vice President Customer Support & Services and Executive Vice President Programmes.<\/p>\n

Matthieu\u2019s replacement in the Airbus EVP Strategy role will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n
