I hope this is of some use.

According to last week's flight international, Airbus ownership is as follows:-

Through ownership of EADS:-

French Government 12%
Spanish Government 5%

Lagardere publishing 12%
Daimler-Chrysler 22.5%
Hamburg (city of?) 1.5%
Publicly Traded 24%
"Others" 3%

That totals the 80% owned by EADS

BAE SYSTEMS owns the other 20%

Interestingly the German government and UK government have no ownership.

I hope this serves as a reference in future discussions, and avoids any misunderstandings as to "Who owns Airbus".
