Résumé
In recent years, the civil aviation industry has been experiencing a strong trend towards consolidation, resulting in the division of world production and medium and long-haul aircraft between European manufacturer Airbus and US manufacturer Boeing. The territorial organisation of the aviation industrial system shows the creation by these firms of a “network company”, based on the division of labour between several metropolises which each contain a complex of activities and interdependent know-how on their own scale, known as an “extended company”. For both Airbus on the scale of Europe, and Boeing on the scale of North America and the Pacific, “network companies” prevail through the exchange of personnel and information between several manufacturing locations, followed by a sophisticated system of logistics for transporting plane components to their final assembly locations.
