Most job descriptions will have a long list of requirements. Hiring managers at Airbus are aware that finding a candidate that checks ALL of the boxes, can sometimes be impossible, often called a "unicorn". If you are missing some of the "nice to have" or even the "must have" skills listed in the job description, most managers at Airbus know that these skills can be taught. Be open about your shortcomings and discuss with the interviewer how you plan to compensate for those with a plan. A great way to approach this question is to ask the interviewer which skills you are missing. Once the interviewer responds, you can overcome that objection by better highlighting that specific experience, or discussing a related skill that you DO have.

"I know the basic elements of this role after reviewing the job description and feel confident I can perform at the level you require. In addition, I am notorious for going above and beyond learning anything and everything that I can. I know that there are opportunities at Airbus to go above and beyond and learn through self-directed learning. I am a life-long learner and will go outside the box to watch webinars, do online research, take certification courses, and do whatever is needed to gain the additional skills."

"I may not have the specific experience with this system, however, I have used another CAD system similar and am willing to put in additional time and study to understand the ins and outs of this one specifically. Having the experience with this CAD system should put me in a position for a quick learn and enable me to jump right in."

What I believe makes me stand out is my initiative and drive. Whenever I face difficulty or lack skills in some areas, I devote much extra time outside of studies and work to develop these skills further and ensure I am the most capable candidate for this job. In this aspect, could you please point out which skills I am missing for this position?

Very well done! You put a spotlight on your top skills and then ask the interviewer for further clarification. This will prevent you from guessing what the interviewer is thinking.
