Aviation

Pioneering the future of aviation safety and cybersecurity
Discover more

The aviation sectors are entering a transformative period. On one hand, increased IT/OT convergence is providing greater connectivity, increased visibility into systems and enhanced operational performance. On the other, the industry is making enormous progress towards reaching ambitious sustainable aviation goals.

But these exciting developments are also creating new safety, security and sustainability challenges. Solving them requires tailored technical solutions, combined with a holistic approach that considers present and future regulation.

Our impact

After over three decades of protecting Airbus’ complex systems, aviation is in our DNA. We use this experience to provide a comprehensive range of aviation safety, security and sustainability services.

Accredited by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

We don’t just understand the regulation; we are officially recognised to help you implement it. Airbus Protect is an EASA-accredited Qualified Entity for Part-IS. This accreditation is a testament to our deep-rooted expertise in civil aviation and our commitment to strengthening the security of the entire aviation ecosystem.

Safety solutions for aviation

Safety is our legacy and our obsession. Born from the rigorous standards of commercial aviation, our expertise covers the entire lifecycle of an aircraft from the first design sketch to decades of in-service operation. We don’t just apply standards; we help define them. We support manufacturers, airlines, and MROs in building products that are safe, compliant, and ready to fly.

Safety & RAMS

We embed safety into your aircraft DNA. Using Model-Based Safety Assessment (MBSA) and Human Factors integration, we anticipate complex failure modes to ensure systems meet the highest reliability targets.

Product & System Engineering

We secure complex avionics and mechanical systems. We ensure safe architecture, integration, and validation, navigating highly regulated environments to deliver robust designs that perform flawlessly.

Certification & Regulations

We guide you to seamless compliance. With deep expertise in EASA regulations and DOA support, we help build the safety case that proves your design is compliant from day one.

Processes Compliance

We ensure your organisation is structured for safety. We support the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) and align your processes with regulatory standards.

Supply Chain & Manufacturing

We ensure conformity. We proactively manage risks across your supply chain, auditing suppliers and managing obsolescence to ensure that what is designed is exactly what is built.

Airworthiness & Customer Support

We ensure continued operational safety. We provide expert support for incident investigations, manage Airworthiness Directives, and ensure your fleet remains safe throughout its operational life.

Cybersecurity solutions for aviation

From passenger aircraft to unmanned military drones, we provide end-to-end aviation cybersecurity services. They’re centred around four pillars – identify, protect, detect and respond.

Our experts help organisations in identifying how to boost their cyber maturity, and are well-versed in all relevant regulations including upcoming directives like NIS2. Our “secure by design” approach combines traditional technical vulnerability assessments with a strong human-centric focus.

We provide Cybersecurity Protection & Resilience on new & legacy perimeters. We protect systems and infrastructure with highly-tailored architecture design and integration services.

Our incident response and forensics team respond to incidents as soon as they’re identified and can take over when crisis management is called.

Our SOC services are designed to detect and neutralise attacks and proactively design a remediation plan through a Client Security project to continuously enhance long-term cyber resilience. This enables our clients to minimise the impact, ensure business continuity, and prevent attacks from reoccurring.

Sustainability solutions for aviation

We are at the forefront of the industry’s transition to net-zero. We support the implementation of Science-Based Targets and adopt a holistic approach from the hydrogen supply chain to the aircraft lifecycle to make aviation safer, more secure, and sustainably viable.

Regulation, Compliance & Governance

We guide you through the regulatory landscape (EASA, ICAO). We identify risks to build a robust governance framework, ensuring compliance and securing your license to operate.

Risk Studies & Simulation

We master new risks in hangars and airports. We use advanced modelling to simulate hazardous phenomena, defining safety zones to protect your workforce.

Energy & Fuels

We de-risk the adoption of SAF, Hydrogen, and electrification. From ground infrastructure to on-wing engineering, we ensure these new energy vectors are certified and operationally ready.

Decarbonisation

We turn climate goals into reality. We measure footprints, define roadmaps, and assess the climate resilience of your infrastructure against extreme weather disruptions.

Ecodesign & Circularity

We apply Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and eco-design principles to minimise weight and impact. We develop strategies for the responsible dismantling of end-of-life aircraft.

Materials & Substances Special Processes

We manage hazardous substance regulations (REACH) to prevent obsolescence. We qualify materials and special processes to ensure compliance from manufacturing to maintenance.

Flight Physics & Testing

We support R&D with advanced aerodynamics modelling to reduce fuel burn. We also accompany flight tests to validate the safety and efficiency of sustainable technologies.

Future Industry & Processes

We support the modernisation of aerospace manufacturing. We manage the safety engineering of robotics and additive manufacturing to optimise efficiency without compromising worker safety.
