Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac (ATB) and Airbus Protect have signed a multi-year cybersecurity contract, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the security of the airport's digital infrastructure. By leveraging Airbus Protect's expertise, the partnership will ensure the continuous monitoring and protection of the airport's information systems and critical assets.

Under the agreement, Airbus Protect will deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions, including real-time monitoring, threat detection, and response capabilities. This initiative aligns with the shared goal of strengthening the resilience of the aviation ecosystem and fostering a secure environment for all stakeholders.

In 2024, the Toulouse-Blagnac airport welcomed around 8 million passengers travelling to more than 80 destinations. More than 65,000 flights were operated to and from this airport, by 26 airlines.

Cybersecurity is a top priority. We are confident that Airbus Protect's expertise will play a pivotal role in protecting our systems and maintaining the high standards of security our passengers and partners expect.
