SECURING OUR COLLECTIVE ADVANTAGE IN FRANCE
Dear all,
As we move further into 2026, the global aerospace and defence landscape continues to evolve at pace. While the ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to send ripple effects across our sectors, fuel price volatility and growing pressure on OEMs and supply chains are underlining the industry’s need for greater resilience, flexibility and strong international partnerships.
Against this backdrop, we are pleased to share several important developments for ADS Toulouse. We are proud to announce the launch of our Defence Committee, a new platform to support members’ engagement and growth within the defence sector in France and across Europe.
March was a particularly active and rewarding month. We organised dedicated sessions with ATR and Airbus Customer Services, providing valuable insights and market intelligence to support strategic positioning. Our Decade-X workshop also proved highly successful, helping participants better understand and implement this important initiative.
Building on this momentum, we are delighted to organise our first European Trade Visits to Hamburg in May and June, offering members opportunities to engage directly with industrial players and explore new business prospects in Europe.
Looking ahead, major industry events remain on our radar, including ILA Berlin and the Farnborough International Airshow, key moments for visibility, networking, and dialogue across the global aerospace community.
In this dynamic environment, ADS Toulouse remains committed to supporting its members through targeted initiatives, meaningful connections, and strong UK/France/Europe collaboration.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
Bonne lecture,
Sincerely,
Marie-Margaux Honikman
ADS Toulouse Director
