AH dropping the helicopter? Was about time for a new name!
Amsterdam, 14 December 2016 – Airbus Group SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) will change its stock market listing name to Airbus in January 2017. This follows the decision announced in September to merge its Group structure with the Commercial Aircraft division. Once the legal proceedings are concluded, Airbus will no longer be a Group with three divisions but rather a commercial aircraft manufacturer with two divisions, "Defence and Space" and "Helicopters".
The integration leads to the introduction of a single Airbus brand for the Group and all its entities.

I wonder if in two years it will be renamed to either just "Air" or just "Bus".
Too bad AirBnB is already taken, that would have been something to consider for a merger with Boeing or Bombardier!
