Airbus launches 5 billion euro share buyback program

Airbus SE has initiated a multi-year share buyback program totaling up to 5 billion euros. The program, which commenced on November 9, 2026, aims to increase shareholder returns by reducing the number of shares in circulation through the cancellation of repurchased stock.

The buyback will be executed in several tranches and is scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2029. In the first phase, running from November 9 to December 23, 2026, the company plans to repurchase up to 800 million euros worth of shares. An independent investment firm has been appointed to manage the timing of these transactions based on market conditions.

This initiative follows authorization granted by shareholders during the Annual General Meeting on April 14, 2026, allowing the company to repurchase up to 10 percent of its issued share capital.
