The origins of Airbus go back over four decades, when a consortium was created to manage the development and marketing of the Europe's first widebodied twinjet, the 250-seat A300B. Airbus Industrie was created as a Groupement d'Interet Economique in December 1970 (a 50:50 joint venture between Aerospatiale and Deutsche Airbus, then part of MBB). Spain's CASA joined the Toulouse-based consortium in 1971, followed by the UK's British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) in 1979. The French and German partners each held 37.9%, CASA 4.2% and BAe 20%.
