As part of its global expansion, NAVBLUE, Airbus’s flight operations services subsidiary, opened an office in Poland in October 2022 and is celebrating its first anniversary. 

The city of Gdansk was chosen because of its recognised position as an aerospace and software hub in Europe. The NAVBLUE Gdansk office has already recruited 40 people and should reach 100 by the end of 2024. 

Leveraging on the local talent ecosystem, NAVBLUE has chosen to rely on the Polish tech and software talents to develop, produce and deliver state-of-the-art flight operations products and solutions aimed at increasing airline operational efficiency and supporting sustainable aviation.

He added: “This new office reinforces our expertise and our network in Europe and around the world, facilitating working relationships with our other teams based in Europe, Asia and America”.  

NAVBLUE’s presence in Poland strengthens Airbus’ technological presence in the country and brings the number of NAVBLUE sites in Europe to four (France, UK, Poland and Sweden), as well as offices in Canada, the USA, Thailand and Singapore.
