Why It Matters
Airbus Group Inc. disclosed $1,240,000 in lobbying expenditures for the second quarter of 2026, according to a July 21 filing. The aerospace and defense contractor's lobbying report detailed general issue areas: aerospace, aviation/aircraft/airlines, defense, economic development, homeland security, manufacturing, and trade.
Broader Context
The lobbying disclosure comes after Airbus U.S. Space & Defense secured a position on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Luno B indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract in 2025. The company has also worked on government helicopter contracts, including a U.S. Customs and Border Protection award valued at over $100 million.
Airbus assembled a six-person lobbying team for the quarter, led by Matt Mazonkey, Vice President of U.S. Government Relations. The team includes Aubert Kimbrell, Director of Government Relations; Kelly Repair, Senior Director of Government Relations; Tom Bush, Senior Director of Government Relations; Cate Sadler, Director of Government Relations; and Jessica Hamilton, PAC and Government Relations Manager.
The Bottom Line
Airbus Group Inc.'s second quarter lobbying disclosure reflects the company's continued engagement with the federal government on defense and aerospace matters, though the specific legislative priorities remain undisclosed in the filing.
