The Federal Association of the German Aerospace Industry (BDLI) has a new president. Michael Schöllhorn, CEO of Airbus Defense & Space, was unanimously elected to the office at today's meeting of the BDLI Presidium.
Michael Schöllhorn succeeds Dirk Hoke, who has headed the BDLI since 2019. "There has never been a more challenging time to lead the BDLI, the leading voice of the German aerospace industry. After the deepest crisis in our industry, the more than 100.000 employees in our high-tech sector are determined to shape the future. We want Germany and Europe to remain at the forefront of our strategic industry - in the air and in space," said Schöllhorn on taking office.
