The Airbus board did not miss the ambition when it revealed plans for hydrogen -powered aircraft in September 2021. Media representatives from all over the world were carted to Toulouse. “We are five years for the development of the aircraft,” said CEO Guillaume Faury at the time. This would follow two more years to select the suppliers, among other things, before the official start of the program in 2027 or 2028 and the market launch in 2035 could take place.
